Streets of Old San Juan

From the Marriott on Condado Beach, take bus 21 it is frequent and cheap. Heading there again today.

Hanging at the San Juan Marriott with the Joggler

In my line of work you get to meet some amazing people with different skills. This trip to San Juan I got to meet and hang with a Guinness Record holder, Michal "The Joggler" Kapral. Michal holds the record for running the fastest marathon while juggling three objects, time 2:50:12. He was just one of our little group that also ran the world's Best 10k yesterday. The only thing I shared with the runners was getting back to the San Juan Marriott's super comfy beds. Congrats Team Marriott for pounding the pavement and to Kara Rosner and Julian Cable-Treadwell and Ness Marie Tollinche for setting a hospitality record.

Old San Juan, a New Love

I love when I am pleasantly surprised about a place and Puerto Rico fits the bill in spades. I expected to like the island, I love this place. Instead of a smaller clone of Miami, I saw a place that vibrates with class and culture. Old San Juan is stunning and well worth spending some time in.We had lunch at a place called Raices (Roots) that features local grub. The dishes were a perfect example of Puerto Rico's blending, native, Spanish and contemporary.
