Puerto Rico

Well, I'm here. Puerto Rico so far has been lovely... and dark. I didn't really sleep last night, and went to the airport at 6:00 am. The Jetblue flight was very smooth, and I slept much of the time. I arrived shortly before 1 in the afternoon in the San Juan International Airport. Then passed out like a light in the hotel and didn't wake up until almost 6 and dark outside.

I got up and began wandering around. My hotel was located in a very touristy part of town filled with resorts, parks, bars, and stores. Right around the corner of my hotel there were ritzy and upscale boutique shops as well as national chains -- Puerto Rico has no sales tax and I guess that's a big draw for some of the tourists.

There is a beach nearby and I took a walk there in the dark, listened to the waves, and called my parents. There were also no fewer than three Starbucks within walking distance. TOTALLY my kind of neighborhood if you ask me. :) They have dfferent pastries here -- look creamier and richer. I bet they are tastier.

Had dinner at Pizzeria Uno (I know, I know. I was tired and didn't feel like anything adventurous tonight), With a nice glass of cab. Then slowly strolled home. I feel slightly sick - have a sore throat and stuffy nose. Perhaps my several weeks of sleep deprivation have finally caught up with me.
