San Juan, Puerto Rico

Tuesday finds us in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  We dock here at around 9am.  Then we all have to go through US immigration.  This might take a while.

Well immigration was fine.  We did swim for one hour before breakfast.  Then while eating, they called our deck.  We had finished so I went to the theater while Bob stayed back and finished his coffee.  All you had to do was collect your passport and show it to an official with the Customs office.  If you were from any other country, you had to have your passport stamped and it took longer for those folks.  Not sure why we had to do this as you do not need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico if you are an American Citizen.  Oh well.

We went in town and caught the trolley.  This is a free service and it takes you to the two forts and old San Juan.  We just rode around for the entire loop and got off by CVS and went in to buy some nuts.  Bob likes his cashews.

Back on the ship for a light lunch and then the nap for Bob while I worked on my needlepoint on the balcony.  The Navigator of the Seas docked right beside us so I watched it coming in.  When they were cleared, the people poured out of the ship for over 45 minutes.  That ship carries 3800+ passengers and our ship is 700 passengers if full.  Big difference.

To tea and trivia where we came in third.  I need to study Dickens novels.  They like to use them as questions.  I can't remember reading them when I was in school.

Tonight they are have a gathering for the grand voyagers.  Not sure what is going to take place.  It is being held before dinner in the theater.  And then we are having dinner with Carol and Parker.

During the afternoon, I finished watching "The 33".  An interesting movie.  At the end they say that the mining company was found not guilty of neglect and the miners were never compensated.  I hope they got some money from the book and movie rights.
