Fort San Felipe del Morro

The Seattleites have left and me madre' and padre' have arrived. One of the first things on our list was to visit Fort San Felipe Del Morro in Old San Juan. Construction started in 1539, the fort was designed to guard the entrance to the San Juan Bay, and defend the city of Old San Juan from seaborne enemies. Dogs are not allowed inside so Matt volenteered to stay outside and read his book, I am already looking forward to going back.
After we were done with the fort we walked around Old San Juan to find some coffee and pastries. It was getting dark so I didn't take to many pictures but the archtecture is very beautiful, very europian. Some of the streets are made out of cobblestone that were baked in Spain in the 1800's and brought to Puerto Rico as ballast. They are known as Aquinas for their beautiful bluish gray color.
