Puerto Rico (City: San Juan)

Puerto Rico was declared a United States Territory in 1902, but for the most part, it still maintains its unique culture.  We stayed right in San Juan off the beach.  Here is a view from the hotel:



Despite the number of fast-food joints near the hotels, the local food was great. We ate at Mi Casita twice because of the delicious shrimp mofongo.  On the beach, there was a mother and daughter who set up a chicken shish kabob grill.  I think it was the best chicken I have ever had.

We took a day trip to Old San Juan and ate piraguas (shaved ice with flavored syrup).  Here are photos of Old San Juan:


This building is part of what used to be a military stronghold and lookout.
