We spent a whole day in Old San Juan. The streets were all really narrow cobble stone and totally shadowed by huge trees and vines. It was exactly how I hoped it would be. There was this cool little sweet/coffee shop under a monstrous tree.


The whole city is surrounded by a 500-year-old wall that is dotted with these really charming lookouts. The walls come to a point at this huge fortress right on the cliffs by the ocean. It was really cool to see how this half-century structure had held up to time and the elements.











Someone shaved their dog to look like a lion. I was totally convinced. I guess they had something pretty valuable they wanted protected.










Out of nowhere it started to pour. We had to hide in a doorway while the street turned into a river. I guess we were in a tropical rain forest.
Here is another picture from Flamingo Beach near where we were snorkeling.

Finally I get to see pictures!!! Those are beautiful, it makes me even sadder we didn't go with you guy, but I am sure it was great to just spend time with each other. That beach is unbelievable. What a fun trip!
(In response to Alison, she still looks fabulous and she is having her baby on Tuesday! I need a crane to get out of bed and I am not even pregnant!)

oh, there is a picture of you hidden underneath the one of the lion dog. It is only like that on my computer? I can see the very edge of it and if I click on it I can see it because it enlarges. That's a cute picture and it looks like an awesome place.
