What a fabulous day in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Staying in old San Juan was a great idea. We are so glad we made the choice as everything is pretty much walking distance from the hotel. The city, the old fort (Castillo San Cristobo), and the waves. There are even iguana walking all over the place. Very cool. We also made our way over to the Capital Building. The architecture is very detailed. I believe the Captial building is made entirely of marble.
Lunch, recommended by the locals was at Caficultura. We had $3.50 Heineken's. Very cheap even after the exchange rate. Lunch sandwhich was great as well and the service was pretty good. In fact, we are finding most of the service in and around the area very decent.
Later in the aftenoon we found the islands only hand crafted brew pub, Old Harbor Brewery. The Pilsner called "Santo Seigo". Also known as blind saint. I am assuming it was so named because of how cloudy the beer was. Very tasty.
Just down the road, across from the piers, we found a Jazz club called Carli's. Owned and operated by Carli Munoz. One time member of the Beach Boys 1970-1981 and also played with Wilson Pickett in the 1960's. It's fine dining, however, if you can afford the Keg, it's not that much of a leap. Again, the food and service was fabulous, even despite the waitress being new to her job.
We are looking for a SD Card reader, as I mentioned yesterday there is no way to do that on the computers available to us. We shot 450 on day 1. There is just so much to see.
