Old San Juan



We went up to Old San Juan on Saturday. It is the historic section of the city, with a few little parks (like one above where Lily is with all the pigeons; there is a lady in that park who sells food to feed the pigeons), very narrow streets which they still allow people to drive on!, and an old fort built in the 1530s. It has some history and apparently lots of night life; we noticed the lingering effects of the later during our morning visit. We had lunch at a "Puerto Rican diner" - in the US, a place like this would serve hamburgers and fries at lunch or meatloaf at dinner, but here they serve things like "amarillo pie" and beans and rice and roasted pork. We like Puerto Rican food quite well so far. Mariah slept a large part of the time in the stroller, and Lily preferred to walk up all the stairs she could find, poke in every hole we passed, and pick up rocks of all sizes.
