SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO

Today we wrapped up five days in the capital of Puerto Rico by visiting Old San Juan (San Juan Antiguo).  San Juan is the second-oldest city in the New World and boasts two 500-year-old forts, San Cristobal Castle and San Felipe del Morro Castle, bookending the islet, which is connected to the main island by three bridges.  It also boasts the second-oldest cathedral in the Americas.

San Felipe del Morro
  The old city is easily navigated on foot as the forts are about one mile apart.  It's a very uplifting place, full of candy-colored colonial buildings, monuments and art.  As you meander down the cobblestone streets there's lots to grab your attention.
