And So It Begins

We are off again. (Some say we are a little off all the tie, but we do not listen to them.)  Once again we are traveling on the Viking Sun from Miami to London, but this time we are avoiding most of the tropics.

Our first stop was in Puerto Rico after 2 "sea days."  In many ways these days are as interesting as the ports where we stop, but we will have many more chances to talk about them.

Since we have been to Puerto Rico before, we passed up the tours offer by Viking and just wandered around the Old Town on our own.  The most famous sight in San Juan is El Moro, the Spanish fortress.  Today is "Little Christmas" or Epiphany Sunday and most major shops are closed.  It is a day for families to relax, go to Mass and then have a picnic or go sight seeing, especially in the Old Town.





Although some of the treetops show signs of wind damage from Hurricane Irma, the Old Town was the first part of the island restored and flowers and bushes seem to be thriving.

People watching is fun, but some other things caught my attention.

That's some bull!

A "Penguin Boat"

Of course, I found some cats. 

Some were indifferent,

some were wary...

and some did not seem to have a care in the world.

And then I found these Things.
