Old San Juan


West Side Story comes alive:  "I want to go back to San Juan..."

I like when multi-national business have to fit in with a local appearance code, like this Burger King,
or the glamorous "Seven-Eleven" in Beacon Hill.

Note the rainbow progression of colors (red, orange, yellow).



Agua! Agua!



All the cool homeowners are doing their roofs in safari prints this year.


Though the houses were pretty, it was a hot day, which utterly sapped the girls' energy.  Until we stumbled on this wonderful fountain.







Look, a fountainbow!




A bit hard to see here, but the air was filled with KITES!


We saw a lot of (presumably stray) cats wandering around town.
They were very cute, but a little shy.  I thought this kitten was adorable.

Alas, all good things must come to an end, as they say.  We had some smoothies and poked around a bit, then returned to the ship.





A living sculpture.

Back on board, some of us went on a kitchen tour.  There were some long speeches (boo!), but finally we got to go into the galley (yay!).  Luckily, we saw nothing that required us to survive on prepackaged crackers for the rest of the trip.  That's always a risk with this sort of thing, I suppose.

That's Amor(e)!  [If you can read the name tag, at least]

I liked this artwork.
