Puerto Rico – San Juan

Mom and Dad stole my blog again! Geesh!  Well they did  promise to take me to Oregon again this year and stay a month along the McKenzie  River!!  They better come through.

We are in Puerto Rico!  Pretty easy Southwest Airline flights except the flight out of Phoenix to Ft. Lauderdale was held up leaving because two continuing passengers got off by mistake and they were  trying  to get them back on the plane. Not a big deal except the short connection time  in Ft Lauderdale caused our baggage to miss the flight to San Juan. Bags arrive the next day at 2pm.

Good news is that it gave us time to walk around  San Juan before heading to the west coast.  Enjoyed  the walk about.  Should not have been surprised with the “cruise ship” culture.  Many, many stores for the ship passengers.  Be we walked and saw some of the town and  Castillo San Felipe del Morro.

There is street art everywhere!  Here an artist at work

The  cobblestone streets are of  blue brick

 

An look who we met roaming the streets…

 

We got our luggage and  a $50 voucher and headed to the west coast.  Boy, you think your rush hour traffic is bad…traffic all they way to Cobo Rojo was bumper to bumper.  But we made it and are sitting on the beach today!!
