  Old San Juan is a city within a city and is encircled by a large wall.  I should have taken this shot with some people in it so you would be able to see just how huge the wall is.  It’s mamouth and stretches on and on.

  I took this picture for two reasons.  (1) Because it’s a pretty garden and (2) because of the sculpture.  It’s not your usual nearly naked young girl with clinging clothing.  It is, in fact, of an older woman carrying books and wearing glasses.  This is as close as I could get, and I’ve got my camera wedged in between two rought iron bars in the surrounding fence.

  There was a large group of high school kids getting their group photo made right beside this fountain.  In fact, the day we chose to visit Old San Juan must have been declared a “School Field Trip Day” because there were more kids than you could shake a stick at. . . all age groups too.   Out on the field between the Old City and the Old Fort were quite a few kids flying kites.  It was a pretty windy day and they looked like they were having a grand time.
