We decided to spend a Thanksgiving vacation visiting Puerto Rico.

December 1: We explored El Morro, then walked around Old San Juan.

A free trolley and tram service operates all over the western part of Old San Juan.
The route to El Morro is a tram; the others are air-conditioned busses.

San Cristobal Castle — also part of the fortifications of San Juan.

Fortifications between San Cristobal and El Morro.

Ditto.

El Morro.

The tram took us right to the front entrance, way up this roadway.

I've always said I wanted to be a WalMart greeter, but maybe I'd rather greet at El Morro.

From El Morro, looking down at the entrance to the harbor — the two buoys mark the channel.

Painting of a Spanish ship, perhaps near San Juan.

The flags of the US, Puerto Rico, and the Spanish flag that flew over El Morro for several hundred years.

Back in Old San Juan. We wandered by foot and found the restaurant we had wanted to eat at,
but it was closed till 5pm and it was only 3pm.
Lots of souvenier shops to explore, though...

Here's one of the free trolley-buses, at its bus stop.

Our last photo of the trip was of a horse-drawn carriage that reminded us of the carriage rides in our hometown of Charleston.
The following morning we packed, then flew home in the afternoon.
