Claudia and I landed after a long but uneventful day of travel from Austin to San Juan, Puerto Rico. This place has been a cool surprise for me. Turns out this place is way more USA like that i had previously thought. But the latin influence (and the constant spanish) is a reminder that we are definitely not in the 51st state :) Things are really pricy, probably like 1.2 times the cost of typical US stuff. But everyone here has gone out of their way to be super friendly which totally rocks.
We've spend the day recovering from our hangovers (Tio Danny's had strong drinks last night) and walking around Old San Juan's cobblestone streets. Some really amazing architecture, statues and colonial era stuff going on -- like La Morra (sp.). There was this group of families flying kites right on the ocean shore up on near La Morra which was really cool... Also, we have a plan. Renting car tomorrow and catching a ferry to the Island of Vieques to do scuba and kyaking. Should be really cool. Also, my cell phone actually works down here if anyone needs to get ahold of me. I'm leaving mine off so the real world won't haunt me too much. email or claudia's phone is the best way to get ahold of me/us!/Trips | link | Add a comment (0 total) | edit
