Blog EntrySan Juan, Puerto RicoFeb 4, '06 5:50 PM
for everyone

Today I went to the Old San Juan City. I really love the city. It has all the glorious feeling of the old colonial days, but also has a lot of shops for all taste and pockets ($). We went because my sister Letty just bought a new car, a RAV4 '06. Really cool!!! So she, her husband, mom and me went to San Juan. We spent a few hours and walked thru the streets near the Fortaleza (where the Governor lives) and to the Paseo de la Princesa (Princess' Boardwalk). We ate Piraguas (Shaved Ice), mine was "cream" flavor. Very delicious but geesh! The price has become so high, it cost $2.00. I still remember when they cost only 50 cents. Am I so old? Image

Here are some of the photos. If you want ot see them all you can go to my photo album called San Juan Feb. 2006

This is me in front of one of the many small fountains around the city. We ate the Piraguas in this corner.

This is my most favorite of the fountains. Is the biggest one in El Paseo de la Princesa. The statues represent the 3 races; African, Spaniard and Tainos. Puerto Ricans are a mix of these 3 races.

I love to make Turismo Interno (Inner Turism?)... Anyway, I love to visit many historical places in the island. San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico and it's where the turists and cruises arrive first to the Island.

Wait until I get my own pc and I'll post tons of photos from my favorite places in the Island!
