THERE AND BACK AGAIN World Cruise 2019

Docked in San Juan. It is Three Kings Day here, the day Puerto Rican children get their presents and so a major holiday with much of the city closed. There were also three cruise ships in port. Coincidence?
We did a walking tour of old San Juan including one of the forts in the morning. The weather was not too hot but the hills are steep; about three miles in all. The afternoon was nap time and then we attended a lecture on the history of cruise ships, focusing on the big liners of yesteryear. Interesting and the presenter, who has been lecturing on cruise ships for 40 years, is an odd duck. In the evening we watched the playoff game on the big screen by the pool and ate pizza. A mix of Bears and Eagles fans. A very nice day, now we are headed for Grenada.
