I wandered around Old San Juan again this morning taking photos and strolling along el Paseo de la Princesa, along the outer wall of the city.
And then I went to the beach in the afternoon. The sand was pretty course and darker than it is at the Jersey shore, but the water was as warm in February as it is there in August. It was beautiful just hanging out in the ocean listening to the waves crash along the shoreline. From the beach, you can see the forts where I was yesterday and the capitol building.
I’m a bit sunburnt despite having slathered in sunscreen so I have to figure out what to do about that. It’s going to be very hot & very sunny everywhere we’ll be.
I was going to go back into town tonight, but two of us are now thinking about trying to crash a field trip. We’ll see if it works. A group is going kayaking at Bioluminescent Bay (http://www.biobay.com) and they just added another bus. We won’t be able to go kayaking, but we’re going to try to get on the bus and wander around ourselves. Tomorrow, I’ve got a trip to Rio Camuy Caves (http://welcome.topuertorico.org/city/camuy.shtml) & then we leave for Brazil.
