Last day in Puerto Rico and i was going to take my husband on a walking tour, whether he wanted to or not. I called my mom and told her to come on down to the hotel so she could go swimming with the kids and watch them while we were out.
We left the hotel at 10:00 First we walked down El Paseo de La Princesa to the fountain and up along the wall to La Puerta de San Juan (the original door to the city). We walked up past La Rogativa, a statue, and through La Casa Rosa to El Morro. We cut over to El Cuartel de Ballaja and had a Piragua. The museum was closed cause it was a monday so we walked down la Calle Cristo. We walked through the hotel El Convento and then into La Catedral de San Juan. I didn't know that Juan Ponce de Leon is buried there, or at least his remains are. After leaving la Catedral we walked down to La Capilla de Cristo and El Parque de las Palomas. Then up to La Fortaleza where we stopped at all the little shops. Then up to la Calle San Francisco and stopped at La Bombonera for something cold to drink and to take a rest from the heat. Then back to the Hotel stopping at the rest of the shops along the way. We got back to the hotel at 2:30, just as the kids were getting out of the pool.
They wanted to go back to my moms house, so we said OK and we showered and took naps until 5:00. My friend from school was coming into Old San Juan to have dinner with us at Barrachina, the place where they claim the Pina Colada was invented. After dinner my husband and i walked up to my parents place, gathered the children and said good bye. It was late and we were leaving the next morning to come back to South Carolina.
