San Juan, Puerto Rico
Megan
We
arrived in San Juan 3 hours behind schedule so we went and looked around
outside of the boat because it was night, they kept us in San Juan
overnight since we had gotten there so late. We took a taxi to the Fort of
San Juan. There were school kids in a field flying kites so we walked
through them they were yelling estupido at each other for their kites
getting tangled. My husband helped one little girl get her kite back in
the air. She yelled gracias as we walked off. We went to the San Juan
Cathedral next on our walk back to the boat, The church was beautifully
decorated in marble, candles, and murals which looked 3-dimensional. We
looked at the different shops but didn't buy anything. The map that the
super shopper gives you helps even if you aren't shopping. Around noon we
went on a tour to see the rainforest. Our first stop was at the market for
souvenirs and a rest stop. Olga, the bus driver, bought us baby bananas.
My husband didn’t want to taste it because he got really sick in Mexico a
few years back & didn't want it to happen again. I tried them and they
tasted sweet and I was unaffected. The next stop was a walk through the
rainforest. We fortunately did not see any snakes or wildlife but the walk
was very peaceful and we met some nice people.
