Hello from San Juan. We have taken a quick road trip to the city of San Juan to get off the boat for a day. Even we need a vacation sometimes. We had a great time driving up over the mountains from Salinas and doing some obligatory shopping. We needed quite a few things that were unavailable locally and it was fun to see the island. Amazing how PR could be anyplace USA when you drive through it. Everything from Churches Chicken to Macy's is here. Sunny even found an Asian grocery. I never expected to see all that here in in this island so far away from the mainland. Had it not been for the Spanish roadsigns I could have easily been fooled into thinking I was in California. We spent the night in San Juan and took in the Bodies exhibit which we seem to miss in every city were in. Very interesting, a bit creepy, but it is well done. Were definitely coming back to this city again.

Hello from Caja de Muerto or Coffin island to us gringos. We are anchored in a beautiful cove of the island which sits just 7 miles from the city of Ponce in Puerto Rico. Should be a fun place for the next couple of days with all the festivities scheduled in the area.

When is it ever a good thing when everyone's wife decides to have a special ladies only meeting. You know it means someone/everyone is in trouble. All day the husbands fritter around with little projects just waiting for the inevitable conversation when the girls come home. Well this particular day was different, for me at least. They decided we should get dressed up, do hair and have a dinner out with some dancing. I can live with that. Believe me it can go much worse in these situations.
