Tarde en El Morro

We recently found ourselves in the Caribbean with some time to explore old San Juan, Puerto Rico. And old means really old. Back to the days of shortly after Columbus old. We took time on a very warm day to walk the Morro and the Cristobal forts. Built in the days of Dutch raiders and English privateers the Moro protects the entrance to the strategic port of San Juan. After 400 years of invaders and hurricanes, that the structures still stand is a testament to the effort that went into their construction. We were so impressed with the structures (and the 87F heat and 87% humidity) we thought we should share our afternoon at El Morro.
