Puerto Rico: Day 4 Part I

Our last day of vacation was a busy one. We took the bus back to Old San Juan to check out two historical sites, Castillo San Cristóbal, and Castillo San Felipe del Morro "El Morro". Some might think this is a super nerdy activity, but we love fortresses.

We wandered around both forts for several hours, reading about the history, and exploring the vast grounds.

The pictures in this blog post are of Castillo San Cristóbal, and our walk towards the next fort.

Street view. 

Dungeon passageway...


Posing in front of a water basin of sorts.

View of OSJ.




Another view of OSJ.
Another entrance into the fortress. 


View as we're walking away.
This is the neighborhood of La Perla. We were told to avoid this area. Looks like home to me. No really. Some parts of St. Kitts are like this.
Another garita; I was obsessed with these.

OSJ is bordered by a huge rock wall that extends out from the fortresses, as you can see here.
