Saturday afternoon last week Sasha and I went to Old San Juan again. It's a beautiful city, and of course it was much better to walk around now than Friday night when it was raining. We walked around the harbor, and on the city walls that were erected by the Spanish rulers of the island, and spent a long time just walking around and relaxing.

We had dinner in a great tapas bar. Puerto Rico, of course, has been a colony of Spain for over 400 years, so the cuisine and the culture are an interesting mixture of native Puerto Rican and Spanish elements.

The place we went to is called "La Cocina del Fraile", and next to a great parma ham, we had some very nice local dishes. We were sitting in a very small garden behind the building, where there was room for only four or five tables, very cosy.
