I continue editing my hundreds of photos from the trip to Puerto Rico that 
just ended (I came home on Friday evening). The island is obviously a 
special place for me. My wife is from there, we were married there in 1983, 
so our children are half-Puerto Rican and identify with the island (as well 
as with Poland, Denmark and a bunch of other places). I have often said that 
if I were ever to move back to the US (not in the cards, purely 
hypothetical), Puerto Rico would be the place.

We went there to spend time with my wife?s ageing parents but we also had 
plenty of time to explore in our rented car. I am organising my photos into 
a few galleries, the first of which I posted the other day, focusing on the 
Caribbean art I saw. Now I am sharing my photos from San Juan, the capital 
city. Most visitors stick to the Condado beach hotels and Old San Juan, but 
the city has a lot more to offer. Hence, a rather large gallery of 94 
photos, from Old San Juan, Trujillo Alto (where my sister-in-law lives), R?o 
Piedras (site of the main campus of the University of Puerto Rico which my 
wife attended), the cool neighbourhood Santurce with a nice square called La 
Placita lined with bars and restaurants, and my first visit to Pi?ones, a 
seaside area full of roadside bars and restaurants serving inexpensive and 
tasty foods.

It?s all here:

And as always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
