Good Morning, San Juan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Off the ship earlier today, at 7:30, because we leave mid-afternoon for a longer than usual sail to get to Grand Turks at a reasonable hour (noon) tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once clear of all the taxi-sharks at the port, we had a perfectly lovely walk to the north along the old fortified city walls through the old City Gate, whose massive doors were built in 1634, to Castillo San Felipe del Morro<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The settlers here truly knew how to build formidable fortresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving Morro, we happened upon what we suspect was the world\u2019s largest craft show. Had to be at least a thousand vendors in 10×10 booths, selling every imaginable craft, and nothing we\u2019d consider imported junk. This clearly was a big draw for residents, not just tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found Old San Juan to be absolutely charming. Loud salsa music playing everywhere, very colorful, very clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
