Jessie and Kevin's World Travels: San Juan

We arrived in San Juan around 3pm on Saturday afternoon. It was pouring down rain so we hung out in the hotel for a while and then ventured out around 7. We had a fantastic dinner at a Thai restaraunt, complete with Puerto Rican Beer and a Mojito! The city was celebrating Saint John so their was a parade happening when we finished dinner. It was very cool to see a celebration like that in a differnt country...although technically Puerto Rico is basically a part of the U.S. We walked over to the beach and saw some of the area around the hotel and then crashed around 10pm.

The beach at night.

Sunday morning we woke up around 8:30 and went off to the ship. Work didn't take too long, fortunately, since we had to check-out of the hotel at noon, even though our flight was not until 8:45pm. We packed out bags and stored them at the hotel until about 6pm. Meanwhile, we had some great Mexican food along the beach before we went into Old San Juan. We had planned to go to the Bacardi Factory, but we heard a rumor that they were not open on Sunday's (come to find out the rumor was incorrect). Instead we just walked around the area. We walked around the El Moro Fort for a little while and then stumbled upon the place where the Pina Colada was created...of course we went in. We finally go back to the hotel around 6pm and then went to the airport. It was a quick trip, but we had a great time!
