Re: Puerto Rico-Old San Juan - doctoro - 06-11-2012 Welcome back Suzen, Happy belated birthday to your Mom, and happy you guys had this chance to share and spend this time together. You picked a very beautiful place for her first time. I love old buildings and the architecture and craftsmanship are Magnificent. The walled city still has much charm. Love those cobble stoned streets. Sounds like you both had a great time. Your pictures are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Re: Puerto Rico-Old San Juan -trip report Pics - Yamangurl - 06-11-2012 More please! I'd like to see/hear more about the island - Vieques(sp?)...
Re: Puerto Rico-Old San Juan -trip report Pics - rootswoman - 06-12-2012 Wow, really Nice. I too have been very curious about Vieques and have heard great things about it. How wonderful you were able to take a trip with your Mom. I bet she hadthe time of her life. Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to more. Once again I must remark about how much I enjoy traveling through the boardies eyes.
Re: Puerto Rico-Old San Juan -trip report Pics - BrenJaLee - 06-12-2012 Beautiful! I love the teal blue house (pic toward the end) with what looks like a wonderful 2nd story veranda!
Re: Puerto Rico-Old San Juan -trip report Pics - Tim - 06-12-2012 To be honest - in the time I spent travelling from San Juan as far west to Rincon then returning to San Juan on the south highway then north thru the mountains I saw very little sign of poverty anywhere. Lots of lower middle class is the way I would describe it. Reminds me, I still haven't posted my pictures of Rincon and my travels south of there.
Re: Puerto Rico-Old San Juan -trip report Pics - Sharleen - 06-12-2012 beautiful pictures, I hear again and again from my best girlfriend how easy it is to stay in Puerto Rico long term, for a relatively little amount of money (comparatively) to staying long term in Jamaica. |
