... a cultural symbol of Puerto Rico itself. Remnants of old cannons and a couple of working ones are preserved well. It has splendid views of both Old San Juan and particularly of the bay. We loved the sunset from there, it was amazing. Content with how we spent the day, we headed back to our hotel through the music and dance being performed on the plazas and streets; carrying the rhythm and spirit of the festival with us.

... started to appear with the typical white sandy beaches and coconut palms but still a very rocky shore line. As we rounded the corner, the beach continued but with a reef about 40 metres from the shore line. Where the heck were we supposed to anchor? Following the loose directions from our cruising guide we found a couple of leads and slowly sailed thru a very, very shallow cut in the reef into a lagoon. After releasing our breath at not ending up on the reef our ...

... So we seem to attract a bit of attention, particularly Tom with the Puerto Rican girls who are far less shy than him and are happy to walk straight up and ask him questions. If only we could get him to answer them! The police are also very different here, the main plaza was patrolled by quite a few of them as petty theft and drug related crime is quite high. We came across a female officer in tight pants (complete with JLo ...

... absolutely worth the wait. While we waited for our dinner to be served we sipped our house-special mohitos with a hint of peach &amp; mango. How delicious does that sound! My hubby tried the Puerto Rican Paella while I tried my favorite wild salmon cooked in a flavorful sauce &amp; served with fried plantains. Finally, to finish off the night we headed back to the neighborhood bar to enjoy our margaritas before calling it a night!

Yes, this is what I discovered during my very short stay in Puerto Rico (on the tiny island of Vieques to be more specific). I joined a small group of people one evening where we kayaked out into the middle of Bio Luminescence Bay. This bay apparently has the highest concentration of tiny little organisms called Dinoflagellates anywhere in the world. As a consequence when you agitate them in the water they ...

Day 3: Today was our travel day (mostly for me. Tammy is quite happy to sit by the pool and soak in the sun but I get antsy). I wanted to take in El Yunque (the rain forest of Puerto Rico) and Old San Juan. We rented a car (which was very reasonable) from Avis in the hotel for under $100.00. After a brief breakfast at the coffee shop we took off. El Yungue is less than 10 minutes from ...

Day 2: Our alarm went off at 4:00 a.m. this morning. Up early to pack and get to the airport. We arrived at the Philly airport around 5:30, checked in, and made our way through screening. We had only brought one checked bag between us and it was slightly over the 50 lbs allowed. Our comments about being allowed 100 lbs for two bags fell on deaf ears and we had ...

... had cute boutiques, and some restaurants (not the fast food chains that we saw). So we finished walking the square, took pictures of the cathedral (Our Lady of Guadalupe) etc. and decided to just drive around the rest of the time. It was too hot to walk any more, and it didn't appear that there was much to see. Ponce was somewhat of a disappointment. We decided to drive over to the beach to see how that was. Wow, not ...

... around the island and sample some of the local flavor outside of San Juan. Globetrotter test #7 Be flexible and agreeable: who knows how much fun could be in store. Oh yes, Kristin passed that one with flying colors since she was riding with us and really wants to become like us some day. Everyone we've spoken with since arriving has told us the island of Puerto Rico is about 100 miles from east to west and about 30 miles north to south, and if we were to drive, it ...
