We spent Day Two wandering around the big fort in Old San Juan.
Looking down the hall of our hotel in the morning.
Of course the day started off the same way as day one...
Hit the blue paved streets for....
Coffee and Mallorcas at La Bombanera
Coffee machine or flux capacitor? Both, but only if you make 88 cups of coffee/ hour.
Then headed up to the fort, which is maintained by the U.S. Park Service. They do good work.
Here's a panorama looking up at the fort. You have to click on it to get the full panorama.
Two shots from outside the grounds.
Once inside, there's a ton of stairs that you have to descend. This is us going back up.
Four different lookouts used for spotting enemy ships. The first three are ancient. The last one was built during WWII to spot German U-Boats.
Erinn coming out of one of the lookouts.
Anti aircraft guns were mounted here during WWII.
That lady in the yellow never sang an aria from the balcony like I thought she was going to.
Tall walls.
Ended the day by meeting up with Will and Nicole and ate some Puerto Rican cuisine. We avoided the chicken cordon bleu, because as the waiter said, "It's from Sam's"
