While we were wandering around Old San Juan we noticed how everybody seemed to have brought their dogs to walk around. Turns out it wasn’t a coincidence and it was a planned event called Dog Day Afternoon. Too bad we didn’t know ahead of time to bring Stanley! Here are some pictures of the dogs…

Old San Juan
I just saw an article about the 20 most charming towns and Old San Juan made the list. After having visited there I can definitely see why! There are brightly colored buildings and cobblestone streets and two huge forts guarding each end of the town. It was very picturesque.
Our friend Pete had flown in to help us move the boat from Puerto Rico to Turks & Caicos so when he got in we headed over to check out Old San Juan. First order of business was lunch! I tried this dish called Mofongo for the first time and it was delicious. Mofongo is mashed green plantains that I had with grilled chicken. YUM! So good. Ryan had his lunch pork chop supersized but he managed to finish it all!
The buildings in Old San Juan are really colorful and we had a great time walking around taking in the sights.
Our visit to the Fort was fun too. There were so many levels to go and explore and the views from the Fort were beautiful.
And, when we got back to our car after a fun day, there was a lizard on the windshield!!
