class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 1 &#8211; Old San Juan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Condado Vanderbilt (Hotel)<\/strong> \u2013 Booked through Chase&#8217;s The Edit program, which included free breakfast and a $100 credit. The room is small but has a nice bathroom and a private little veranda with a city view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Landed late Friday night and the Puerto Rican mosquitoes found me immediately. Sunscreen and bug spray went on the shopping list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hotel Breakfast (Breakfast)<\/strong> \u2013 Buffet, eaten poolside with a view of the water. Amazing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Columbus landed here on November 19, 1493, during his second voyage, and Ponce de Le\u00f3n founded the first Spanish settlement in 1508. Spain ceded the island to the U.S. in 1898 after the Spanish-American War, Puerto Ricans became U.S. citizens in 1917, and the commonwealth was established in 1952. It runs much like a state: federal laws apply and the U.S. handles defense and foreign policy, but residents can&#8217;t vote for president in the general election.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Castillo San Felipe del Morro (Fort)<\/strong> \u2013 Took a Lyft to the fort and made our way across Old Town. The Spanish started building it in 1539 and kept expanding it for about 250 years to guard the entrance to San Juan Bay. It&#8217;s now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Entry is $20 per person, but we renewed our National Park pass instead. I have memories of visiting here with my parents as a kid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don Ruiz Coffee (Coffee)<\/strong> \u2013 A stop for caffeine and air conditioning. The caf\u00e9 sits inside Cuartel de Ballaj\u00e1, a former Spanish military barracks from the mid-1800s that now also houses a museum. Iced matcha and a latte.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Catedral Bas\u00edlica Menor de San Juan Bautista<\/strong> \u2013 One of the oldest cathedrals in the Americas, dating back to the early 1500s. It&#8217;s home to Ponce de Le\u00f3n&#8217;s tomb, which was moved here from a nearby church in the early 1900s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Puerta de San Juan<\/strong> \u2013 The original door to the city and the last of the old city gates still standing. Ships docked nearby, and arriving passengers walked through this gate and up the street to the cathedral to give thanks for a safe crossing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paseo de la Princesa<\/strong> \u2013 A 19th-century waterfront promenade running along the old city walls, named for a former jail that still stands along it. On weekends it fills with an artist market of local vendors selling art, crafts, and food.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>La Casita de Rones (Drinks)<\/strong> \u2013 Creamy pi\u00f1a colada and a rum old fashioned. Puerto Rico is best known for the pi\u00f1a colada, which was invented in San Juan in the 1950s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hotel Pool (Wind Down)<\/strong> \u2013 Relaxing evening watching the waves and reading. A future groom&#8217;s dad asked us to film the engagement at sunset. Another pi\u00f1a colada and plantain chips for dinner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 2 &#8211; Santurce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hotel Breakfast (Breakfast)<\/strong> \u2013 Another delicious breakfast. Tried their version of a mallorca, a soft, fluffy sweet roll made with yeasted dough, traditionally enriched with lard and dusted with powdered sugar. They&#8217;re a staple in bakeries across the island.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ciudadela Sunday Market<\/strong> \u2013 Local artisans, handmade jewelry, crafts, plants, and plenty of local food. It runs the 3rd Sunday of the month on the plaza between the buildings, near the Planet Fitness entrance. We got a caf\u00e9 fr\u00edo and a matcha and strolled to the museum next door.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (Museum)<\/strong> \u2013 A mix of contemporary and classic art plus a tropical garden with sculptures. We lucked into free admission for &#8220;Access for All Day: Bienestar en el Museo&#8221; (Wellness at the Museum). Normally $20 per person. Very cool museum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My &#8220;survival Spanish&#8221; has been less helpful here. The locals speak Spanish VERY fast. We considered joining a group tour at the art museum but were hopelessly lost and explored on our own. People are friendly, and most speak flawless English too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We&#8217;ve spotted several sculptures around town by Fernando Botero, the Colombian artist whose signature style, Boterismo, features exaggerated, rounded figures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Puerto Rico Costco<\/strong> \u2013 It started raining as we left the museum, so we went to check out the local Costco. We always like looking for unique local items. After spending $25 on a Lyft to get there, it was pretty much just like our Costco. We picked up some local coffee but spent more getting there and back than we saved. A surprising amount of cold weather clothing for somewhere that doesn&#8217;t get cold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>La Casita Blanca (Lunch)<\/strong> \u2013 A late lunch of Puerto Rican home cooking at a James Beard America&#8217;s Classics Award winner. Walk-ins only, with a short line to be seated. Complimentary pumpkin soup and codfish fritters to start.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 16 &#8211;
