Hi Thalia! I love your name. You are so right - if you haven't had a chance to go to San Juan and see it for yourself, do it! Thanks for your comment, Old San Juan is truly a work of art in so many ways. Did you know that the blue cobblestones of the street (they're basically waste from iron smelting, hahaha - not very glamorous) were bricks that ships used as ballast in the 1500s, 1600s... and they'd off load them when they'd reach port. Someone decided to use it as the pavement and look at what we have today... an art form, as you say. As they decay they get bluer. (Last time I went some are being replaced with weird grey looking ones that are not the same... but are more durable. You win some, you lose some.) I'm doing well, thank you, hope you are having a great week! Take care!
