This is where we started walking when we got off the ship. San Juan is the capital and is the second oldest city in the Western Hemisphere. There is a Big Frog on top of that Short Building.
People were selling things under the canopies. We shopped later.

Our taxi for our tour of San Juan Puerto Rico

| A beautiful waterfall we stopped to see |
|
Me walking up to see the waterfall...7 minute walk on wet, muddy stones
 |
| Our taxi driver wanted to take a picture of me before we climbed the rocky trail to the waterfall. He loved taking pictures and was so kind and helpful |
 |
| This is what we had to walk on as we climbed for 7 minutes. It was wet and kind of slippery |
At the Waterfall we climbed to see. People were swimming and standing under it

We saw this two foot iguana in town on our walk back to the ship right next to the sidewalk we were on

| Beautiful port in San Juan |

Shopping along the street before getting back on our ship. This is where we got the money pouches for the grandkids

Took a picture of the ship next to ours. It was amazing.

| Almost back out to sea |
 |
| Gayla, me, Bill, Shane, Vita, Shasoon, Wes, and Joel. We ate dinner together at night at our assigned table. They were very nice people. |

| Our animal for the night |
When we woke up we were docked at San Juan. A huge Carnival cruise ship pulled in next to us. Ate breakfast in the lido with Wes, Gayla and Joel. Then we got off our ship and found a tour guide to take us to the rain forest. It took a half hour to get there. The Rain Forest is 28,000 acres and 4,000 elevation. He was a very kind tour guide, and helped with Joel and watched out for all of us when we climbed up to the waterfall. It was wet stone, rocks and dirt on the climb. Some rocks were steps. I had Sandles on so prayed for God to help me. It was beautiful up there. He kept asking to take pictures of us with our cameras too as he knew all the good spots.We didn’t see or hear any birds in the rain forest. Only saw some farmers cows when we first started out. He said no animals live there. He showed us a picture of his beautiful 10 year old daughter.
It was misting out. Our driver said they get 240 inches of rain a year and 60 is the lowest temperature. We stopped and went up 98 steps in a tower for a great view. We stopped at another waterfall and our driver wanted a picture with Wes on his camera and the one of Gayla and I with him on his camera. Bill stayed in the van with Joel. We took a picture on our camera too. We stopped and got a passion fruit drink. It was delicious! Came back and walked downtown and bought a couple of souvenirs, and some money pouches for the grandkids. Got back on the ship. Talked to Vikki for a while. So thankful we can call each other here. Loved talking to her. We and ate lunch and then relaxed on lounge chairs. Talked to Kimmy and and loved talking to her too! Sat out until it started sprinkling. Went back to our room for a while. Got to talk to Melissa as our ship was leaving port from San Juan. So happy I got to talk to her before we were out where we couldn’t call anymore. Loved talking to her too. I had just told the girls you couldn’t feel the ship move much, and then when we got out to see the waves we’re big and we were moving quite a bit. Much harder to walk, but not horrible. Ate dinner at our Platinum Restaurant. Our waiter is sure nice. They did another showtime for us to the song Happy. Our friends at our table from India wanted a picture of all of us at our table, so another one of our waiters took one for each of us. They are such nice people. Their grandson who is in college here is with them, and he has been on Ltd of cruises so knows all about the food and helps explain what it is to us. He orders three appetizers, a main course with lots of sides and at least two desserts. He’s trying to gain 15 lbs. but hasn’t gained anything yet. Wish I could say that ha ha. Went to see a Cubana performance by the same group that has been there. I am surprised they can dance like they do with the ship rocking. Played 3-13 with Wes and Gayla
