San Juan

We've arrived safely in Puerto Rico.   Just stepping off the plane you know you're somewhere tropical.  It's not the temperature so much as the humidity.  It feels like a soft warm caress.  My dry Colorado skin just soaks in the air here.

Old San Juan is picturesque.  Yesterday we had fun tramping through "El Morro", part of the old fort.  "Massive" and "It was pretty cool" were the descriptions I could coax from the crew.

We were a bit puzzled and put off by all the debris in  the city streets, until we realized that Monday was the day after the "Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian" Pretty much the biggest festival in San Juan.  It also explains the crowds we found Sunday night while we hunted up some food.

Today we enjoyed the beach.  It was lovely.  Sandy, but good.  It will likely be Easter before we get all the sand off us.  It's a price we're willing to pay.
