Remembering Old San Juan

In Spring 2012, in advance of our wedding anniversary - S&I decided to explore Puerto Rico by ourselves. S did much of the planning & logistics, and I sat back and enjoyed every little thing he had planned for us. It was beautiful. 

Old San Juan was one of the first spots we visited... Cobblestone streets so narrow that cars had so little wriggle room. Roads would intersect at 6 way junctions.. Coffee shops spilled onto the streets, every third shop was a flea market and tender coconut vendors were aplenty! Every street was lined with colorful houses equipped with a mock balcony that had flowering plants in full bloom. It was surreal and so bloody beautiful.

We loaded up on plantains and pina coladas. Swam with the fish and touched mini coral reefs... Kayaked through dense mangroves past sunset and spent the night under the moonlit skies amidst bio luminous algae ! Ah, what a trip!

It's been a few years since the trip, but the memories are top of mind. So I put it onto a canvas as best as I could - here's something to remember that by.
