Puerto Rico!

We were up early enough to watch our approach to Puerto Rico

The weather got kind of moody as we were getting closer

We'll be going to this fort later in the day

Old San Juan

Our ship

we're ready for our excursion! We disembarked, walked down the pier and onto the street just off the dock. We met up with the tour group and waited for everyone to assemble.

This is the day we saw the most things and took the most pictures. I'll be breaking this day up into at least 2 posts because there was so much I want to remember.

Christmas decorations feature poinsettias

This was my favorite sculpture/statue of the trip. Someone is about to get told off.

More Christmas!

A national park!

Cute ship

Who doesn't like displays of armor? But as our guide mentioned, it's heavy and hot, especially in the climate of Puerto Rico

A nice large grassy area in the middle of the fortress

Just to prove we are there

arches surround the plaza in the middle of the fort

After walking up a steep ramp, we got to the top of one of the fortress walls and were treated to amazing views. Can you guess what used to rest on the arcs built into the floor? Cannon!
