San Juan Puerto Rico

[lumberjim]

Where are you staying, pico?

There's a casino on the first floor of our hotel, but it's lame. Only one$5 black jack table that is always full. A couple$10, a $25 table. I just can't gamble that much money I'm skeered.... and a handful of other table games like craps and roulette. .. but mostly it's slots.

Not on a par with AC. But whatever. .. it's still fun.

The streets of old San Juan are really cool. Made of blue bricks. ..


The most fun we had. ... and we spent from 11am to 11 pm there. .. was at Palmas bar.

it's up top (the city is on hill, so when you go, go to the fort first and then walk down through the city.)
We were down at the bottom and asked a waitress about the specials for happy hour, and she sent us to Palmas, where her full time job is. ... we ran into her in the way out 5 hours and a lot of rum later, and were able to thank her for the tip.

The guy on the right is an aspiring football player. He wants very badly to make the practice squad on a CFL team. He got bounced out of the ncaa for peeing hot repeatedly. (pot) He showed me some video clips of him playing in division 2 games in PR, and he's fast as hell. I hope he makes it, just so the 45 minutes he spent beating my ears about it was worth it. Verrry passionate about it.

The people are so friendly and proud here. The guy at KEK cigars was awesome. .. it rained while we were shopping, so he insisted that we sit and have some sangria in Dixie cups and wait it out. He gave us both a free cigarillo... Amanda had her first, and enjoyed it enough to finish it.


Good times.

I think we are going to just chill today. Recover from the rum, and relax in the pool. We fly out Saturday at 3....
