Oops....In San Juan 5/15-18
Sorry about that, still learning....the story starts here.... Back in SanJuan/Old San Juan. Met up with my cousin Pat, his wife Luann, Mom Lund, Aunt Pat (my mom’s sister in law they live together now), and Aunt Mary (Pat’s mom and my mom’s younger sister). So now there is 7….fun….first night there we all check into the same hotel…Pat is by the pool and a room that was huge. The Ladies are in the handicap room with was twice as big as Pat’s. So Michelle and I get a closet….had to be the smallest room on the block. AC didn’t work, very tight quarters, just bad all around…Michelle makes a stand…we are moving…the following day. I agree with her, there were no other rooms open because Hillary was coming to town to get some delegates…fun! So we move across the street to the Lon Concha…..a 5 star unit….nice. Over looking the ocean on the top fool was just awesome. Felt badly we split the group up, but the others were a block away. We invited them over and they had fun too. So while we are in San Juan we visit the old forts of San Juan that were built in the 1500’s. Really something, that is still holding together very well. Because the older gals had a hard time walking we left them with the hot dot vendor and the 4 of us toured the fort. At one point when I crawled out on the top of the fort, the San Juan Police rushed up in their vehicle yelling out of their mega phone….”GET OFF THE WALL!!!!”. Ouch….jail time now in San Juan….Nah…..I surrendered…. Driving around San Juan was quite the challenge, and Pat took it head on…thank god. Each street you could fit 1 and a half cars through …I don’t know how he did it in a van, but he did. The following day we toured the Bacardi Rum Factory (after getting lost for a couple of hours…) Had some samples and then back to San Juan. Getting on the ship tomorrow….)
