On today's post we'll visit the "Paseo de la Princesa", at Viejo San Juan, Pueto Rico's capital. Since it's far away from here, I invite you to go in my very own airplane: The Furry-plane =^..^=

Paseo de la Princesa |
There are soooooo many interesting places at San Juan, a town built since the Spanish occupation in Puerto Rico, centuries ago. The Paseo de la Princesa, go around the big walls that protect part of the city.

Oh yes, Old San Juan - beautiful place. Our first stop on our very first cruise because we loved wondering around in Old Town. We had never seen streets that narrow before -left a big impression. It was our first tirp out of the US, it was unique. The Fort was fun exploring also. Great place to visit & very historic.
ResponderEliminarThe woman went to Old San Juan when she was young. She's said it's very beautiful and wished she would've went back.
