Puerto Rico, Part 2 | Eating our Way Through Old San Juan

Filed Under: Travel

A few notes about Old San Juan: You can take a free trolley around town if you’re tired of walking. It gets really (annoyingly) crowded when multiple cruise ships dock.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates, Travel 27 Comments

Right before we left for Puerto Rico, Mike told me he wished we were staying home for Christmas break instead. That he didn’t feel like traveling and doing stuff and seeing things, but instead just hanging out at home and maybe watching some movies and working. “I just really love to work.” I agreed.
