Sight-seeing with Bianca-chan (Day 10-14)

Many lovely people wanted to join me for my PR adventure, but COVID makes traveling more tricky for most people. However, I did have one taker! Bianca decided she was equally tired of our apartment and decided to tag on a week of PR to her family visit in New York.

So far, our travels have taken us to two major tourist destinations: Old San Juan and Culebra.

Old San Juan

Old San Juan refers to the oldest, colonial section of the capital. It used to be completely enclosed, but part of the wall was torn down to create make space for urban growth. The blue,  colonial streets were charming to walk around. Initially, Bianca and I weren't going to pay to enter the San Cristobal Castillo, but it turns out our America the Beautiful pass was valid there. Celebrations! It was very pleasant to walk around the site and learn some of the basic colonial history of the island. 





We also got pedicures...at a Vietnamese restaurant/bar.  That was a first.


Culebra

Culebra is a small island off the east coast of Puerto Rico. It's famous for having beautiful beaches. The only way to get there is a walk-on ferry, which means many folks opt for one of the primary transportation methods on the island: golf carts. Please enjoy some lovely beach photos as well as our swanky golf cart.
