Day 4 ~ San Juan ~ Puerto Rico

With two well-preserved, exhibit-laden forts, a dramatic fountain honoring the island’s birth, blue cobblestone streets, mosaic stairwells, and even shops selling Spanish hand fans and the short jackets of the matadors, the old town of Puerto Rico’s capital takes the cruiser back in time.  Welcome to San Juan.

Puerto Rico became part of the USA at the end of the 1800s and San Juan is the oldest city under the USA jurisdiction. With its centuries old architectural featurescobalt blue beaches, and rainforest, there is something for everyone in this Caribbean gem. This is a melting pot of Latin and Spanish cultures, mixed with African and Taino traditions, with a touch of American influence.

Ship is scheduled to depart at 10:30.  It was a hot hot day today.  Just not used to the heat yet not complaining….   Tomorrow we are to arrive in St. Kitts at Noon.  Maybe lunch off the ship tomorrow.  We really haven’t made any plans yet.  What will be will be.  Nighty night🌙🌙🌙
