Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

Glenn, Frank, Andre, Jay, and John - Fort San Juan
After a day at sea where we baked and sizzled our bodies under the Caribbean sun, we woke up in San Juan, Puerto Rico. As usual we congregated for mid-morning breakfast and then headed into the city. The weather was hot, sunny, and bright. We had a stroll through the old Spanish fort, posed for pictures, then walked along the sea wall, before heading into the shopping district. And try as we might to spend some money, there just wasn’t really anything that caught our eyes.

Around 3:30 we were all running on fumes, so we searched for a place to eat that was open, had outdoor seating with shade, and customers. After passing up about eight restaurants for various reasons, we settled on El Toro. The menu was nice; however, after sitting for 10 minutes without a server, we decided to return to the ship where the buffet is always open.

Tonight we will return to the city for a cocktail party and dinner. It could be called a foodie excursion....
