12.26.16

Our first day was great! We had a little bumpy start. in the past, we always arrived in San Juan very early in the morning. This time I decided to give ourselves a break and take a flight that got in around 2:30 pm. We faced a little line for taxis, but the issue was the traffic. It was crazy!! Even our driver got frustrated.

We were happy to make it to the hotel. We chose a cute boutique hotel: The Casablanca. It's in a great location. It had a Moroccan theme with accents from the movie. The rooftop deck has a great view of the harbor and the fort. The deck has four big tubs the guests can use.

We headed out to find a beer bar we had heard,  about from the brewer on the Carnival Vista. It's a craft beer bar and it had a pretty good beer selection. It's definitely a place to avoid if you are in a hurry. We had a great time. Their chicken wrap and steak burrito were very good.

Then we headed back toward our hotel to check out a rooftop bar we could see from our room. It was a long wait, but they had great coconut mojitos. The food was really good. Glenn had the skirt steak and I had the mofongo with shrimp and a garlic cream sauce.

After dinner, we enjoyed the beautiful night from our hotel's rooftop.
