San Juan

Founded in 1521, the capital of Puerto Rico, San Juan, is the oldest city in US territory. We spent a day driving around in it. We did not really walk there because the weather was excruciatingly hot and finding parking was quite difficult. I have never driven on such narrow streets! Most of the central Old San Juan looked very cute with its quaint multicolored buildings. However along the shore next to El Morro we saw some pretty poor living conditions. The architecture of the city was quite diverse - from Spanish mansions to old European buildings to contemparty residential towers.
