| On our last day in Puerto Rico, Greg and I made a break away from
the rest of the Melita group to explore old San Juan on our own.
Here are some views of the Dominican Convent and Church - the oldest
in San Juan.

| A side view of the church, and the Cathedral in San Juan.

|
| Here is the first Fort we went to, Fort San Christobal.
We arrived there in the early morning of their 50th anniversary
of being a National Park.

| Greg at Fort Christobal posing with some ammunition!
I of course am not interested in that! Behind us you can see the Bay
with the cruise ships lining the sides.

|
| Here is the second fort we visited, Fort San Felipe del Morro.
It was a LONG walk to this fort on the tip of the bay. Inside, there
were many cannons for Greg to visit! Here he is in a window that would
have been used to shoot from.

|
| Here is a view of the lower level on the fort. You can see the
tracks the cannons would be swung around on, as well as how close to
the water the fort was built.

|
| Here I am posing inside a watch tower and then next to some of the
LARGE walls the fort was made of. Some of the walls were over 18
feet thick!

|
| Built on top of the del Morro Fort, was a brand new
lighthouse. Kind of stands out doesn't it? The lens is original from
the early 1800's.

|
| Near del Morro was a hospital.
|
|
???
|
| Also near del Morro was a park commemorating the 500th
anniversay of Puerto Rico being founded.
