Onward to Puerto Rico!

Continuing on, our next stop was San Juan, Puerto Rico!

We were greeted at the dock by this wonderful seahorse sculpture on a pink plaza !

Lauren said it best!  We were exhilarated to be here!  

Our taxi driver guide took us to see the Plaza of Democracy.  

He was proud to show us this government building.
I have several fun photos for Shadow Shot Sunday2 this week.

The police on the steps did not move aside as we ascended the steps.  

Here our guide is explaining about how many different types of marble were used.

This photo was taken from in front of the steps, facing the sea.

We drove past old forts

And many sculptures.

We went down side streets in Old Town

The buildings were centuries old.

Here, our guide stopped and we got out as he showed us the famous blue cobblestones that pave

many streets of Old Town.

I can't wait to share these with my friends from Blue Monday!

 The yellow house is the narrowest house in the country.  It is not much wider than

the front door!  Our driver was puzzled as to why someone would want to live there, but the current resident has for many years.

 Outside the walled part of Old Town

Now into the modern side of Puerto Rico.

The convention center in San Juan

Exclusive shops

 A big supermarket advertising the sales

Colorful 

local fast food joints!

 A view of the watching dog rock formation.

We heard the backstory from our taxi driver.  

 The beach for the locals inside the modern city area

 We had a full day in Puerto Rico and this was the initial two hour tour we took with a hired taxi driver.  I will continue  Puerto Rico as a part II where we explored ourselves later on foot,

next post!
