Enjoying San Juan
Our first stop was San Juan, the Capital of Puerto Rico, where we stayed for a day in the Old Town. We had time to walk around the city centre and enjoy the Puerto Rican Cuisine at small cafés. Of course we had to try the national dish Mofongo. The dish is defined by the mashed and boiled mound of plantain that serves as its base. Platain is a fruit that looks like a banana, but tastes mor like potato. This is formed like a pai and filled with any combination of meat, seafood and vegetables. Absolutely delicious!
It was a nice but short stay, and we are looking forward to return on our own keel to this island with its charming and peculiar mix of Spanish and US culture.
