Days 11 and 12

We have been here in San Juan the last two days sightseeing in Old San Juan. We are really glad we came down to see this area of the island as it is a must see. On the other hand we have had some difficulty adjusting the change in lifestyle from the countryside on the West coast where we have spent the majority of the trip and the city here in San Juan. Basically this side of the island might as well be the U.S. as everyone in our hotel is pretty much American and the pace of life here is fast and much more materialistic like you would see in any big city back home: fast drivers, not the friendliness from locals that we saw over on the other side, and everyone here in San Juan speaks way too much English for a Spanish speaking country. Then again that is the difference when you are a U.S. commonwealth. Our video shows the Morro fortress, old San Juan, and our hotel. Heading back up to the North Coast tomorrow to get ready for our long day of flying on Tuesday. See everyone soon.
