4 days in Puerto Rico after a winter in Vermont was a real bliss from heaven. It was warm and humid, but occasionally cloudy. We never needed any coats or hoodies at any point. Beach was good, but if any one is going to Isla Verde, I think the beach on the right side, that is where Ritz Carlton is, is better than the other one. The beach that is closer to downtown is full of seeweeds, something that I don’t enjoy much.
Our hotel was close to the airport. Bad side is that you hear planes taking off all the time. However, other big hotels around make it a real tourist place. The baseball bar near by, Lupi’s, has a very good Mexican/ American menu.
Old San Juan is the downtown area inside the city walls. It is really lively when the cruise ships stop by. Many many souvenoir shops wait for the cruise travelers to shop in this area. Spanish style houses and narrow streets are really lovely. There are quite a few good restaurants in the area. There are also good bars and pubs but, nothing interesting happens before 11pm.
There are also two collosal forts around the Old San Juan. I think they are both worth seeing. They are big, old, but the most interesting thing about them is that they have great views of the ocean and the old city. Definitely very classy pictures can be taken. There is huge park in front of one of the bigger park. That park was full of people of all ages flying kites when we went there. It was really fun to aly down on grass watch kites and children after a long day full of walking and sightseeing.
