Puerto Rico - General Info

If you ever find yourself in Puerto Rico, you HAVE to check out Old San Juan. The buildings are beautiful and the town is adorable. From the sweet scented bright flowers to the bath warm waters of the caribbean the island is beatuiful throughout, but Old San Juan really is a facinating spot to check out. Their fort is still intact and there, I did not get to tour it however, definately something I would do if I were to go again..

Definitely stay in the historic part of the city where you can find inexpensive lodging as well as very expensive and check out the yummy bakeries, inexpensive restaurants and cheap street eats. I was lucky to be visiting during the Jazz Festival. I was on a budget, but if your not, there are some excellent restaurants where you can rub elbows with some fabulous looking people and eat wonderful food.Ladies, I was in San Juan by myself and I felt perfectly safe, although I didn't go out at night, but I would add that Puerto Rico is not the place for women who do not like excessive attention from men.

When traveling to San Juan, one must be very careful because of the high crime rate. The people are extremely beautiful though.
