Saturday night we went for a drink in lobby of the El San Juan hotel, a few minutes walking from our place. Because we had a heavy lunch, excellent hamburgers in the Holiday Inn's restaurant, we wanted just a small bite so we had a salad and soup, with a glass of red wine.

The wine was very delicious, and we were having a really good time looking at the people in the lobby. There is a large nightclub in the El San Juan, so we were watching the dressed up people going out for dancing. White clothes are all the rage in San Juan, it seems.

Went the waitress served me my soup, she accidentily hit my wine glass and I got the full contents over my clothes. A rather dramatic incident, and I was afraid I might not be able to wash it out of my clothes at all. The supervisor told me I could borrow a shirt from them and they would immediately dry clean my stuff. Because our hotel was so close, I choose to go back to our room and changed clothes and had a very quick shower. When I came back the waitress had brought me a new glass of wine, and a warm onion soup.

I was very nicely surprised that when I picked up my clothes the next day, they were completely clean.
