I'm home! We left early Tuesday morning and got in late last night, exhausted. Our trip was very spur of the moment. No time for planning, barely enough time to book a hotel. We only went to San Juan. It was nothing like I expected it to be. I guess it's most like New York City. It's HUGE!!! All hustle bustle and it never sleeps. We arrived late Tuesday afternoon and just wondered around then went out to dinner. Luckily, our hotel was near the beach, so we spent a full day just doing the beach thing. I'm already peeling like a banana!! The next day was touring Old San Juan. How beautiful! The architecture on the old buildings is just gorgeous with lots and lots of balconies, dripping lush foliage and blooms. As we were shopping along one of the narrow streets, a large group of people (there must have been at least a hundred!) rounded the corner clapping their hands and singing. We were swallowed by them! They filled the sidewalks and the street and just kept clapping and singing. I clicked a pic, hung onto a car and just smiled and smiled. I don't know what they were singing, but they were happy and that made us happy too. The old city wall was first built back in the 1500's and looked so cool rising out of the turquois sea. We also toured Fort San Cristobal. Wow!!! It's definitely a must see. Then we caught the city bus to take us back to our hotel area, missed our stop and rode that darn bus for 2 hours, LOL!!! But it was a great way to see some of the city. There is a gigantic mall in San Juan. The traffic was just jammed all around it. It took us 45 minutes just to go around two sides of it! Oh, don't ever go to San Juan and think your gonna just rent a car to get around. Sure you can rent the car, but driving in San Juan is CRAZY!!! I will go back to Puerto Rico some day, but I want to visit the other side of the island when I do. I also want to go up into the mountains. Wow, there is just so much to see there!! Here are just a few pics (hope this works!)...

I remember when I went to San Juan, I was expecting the beautiful beaches and sand, only to find beautiful Water with lots of rocks. We stayed at the San Juan Hotel, and they did have a beach, it was awesome. Quite the photographer you are.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
