I enjoyed going to San Juan. My dad was stationed at Roosevelt Roads navel air station and we went down to visit him for Christmas when I was in about fifth grade. We had more of a local view because of people he knew locally. It was about of different place I’ve been that was still America in it’s own way. I went snorkeling on Christmas Day. I loved the old fort El Morrow. It rained almost every afternoon. We had to get out of the pool if there was lighting. I remember seeing clubs but at my age I didn’t find any interest in them. Some things I can still remember well were the highway patrol cars were VW bugs a had a flashing blue light on all the time. I noticed that almost every car there had dents it. I saw a pineapple growing in a tree! While visiting a rainforest. I guessed a bird took a seed back to its nest and it grew. There were fancy hotels there but we stayed in an old barrack that had been converted into a hotel on a navel base.
Thanks for your reports, ThomasThomas and cheesehead in texas. We can be away from home only three or four days, so staying in Old San Juan would be ideal.
