Day Four, Evening in San Juan


This evening we had a delicious meal at Cafe del Punto. Afterwards, Monica, Bonita, and I walked through the streets of Old San Juan. It was beautiful at night, with the cool breeze, the soft lighting, and the background music. We strolled through two plazas where we saw kids using scooters and people playing dominoes, which is a popular pasttime here. There are tables set up in the plazas for just this activity. We ambled along the walkway below the walls that guarded the city, and through the gate that was the entrance to Old San Juan. The city looks different at night; it has a romantic feel to it.

Listen to the sound of el coqui, the very tiny tree frog native to Puerto Rico. It sings its name, "co-qui":
