Rum and Coke Palio

Blue Sunset Palio
Blue sunset cocktail. Complimentary with voucher. I’m not sure what was in this thing, and I don’t want to know. It was horrible! We couldn’t even drink it even though it was free!
Palio, Old San Juan, PUERTO RICO

We came to Palio for happy hour drinks and snacks. Omg, I wish we hadn’t. The drinks were lame and the food was totally uninspired.

Sheraton Old San Juan
Looking up the side of the Sheraton Old San Juan from the balcony of Palio Restaurant. This is the hotel we stayed at in San Juan. It was a little out-dated, but it had a small casino and all the basics.

Silverfox and I ducked into Restaurante Triana to grab a lazy, afternoon drink. We had been walking all morning and decided that we needed a reward, lol. The sangria there was pretty good and the service was very friendly.

San Juan Gate

The red San Juan Gate. Back in the day, this was the main entrance to the city. On the ceiling of the gate there is an inscription that reads, “Benedictus qui venit in nomine domini” which translates to “blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”.

Jake sandwich St. Germain Bistro & Cafe
Chicken, tahini sauce, walnuts, tomato, spinach, carrot, and hummus on a pita. Served with a watermelon, cucumber and radish salad. $10.32
St. Germain Bistro & Cafe, Old San Juan, PUERTO RICO

This was the weirdest sandwich I’ve ever had. The combination of ingredients wasn’t necessarily bad, but the it made for a dense mass with an odd texture. I would have preferred less of the sandwich and more of the delicious watermelon salad!

Discoverer statue Plaza de Colon

“Discoverer” statue of Christopher Columbus at the Plaza de Colon. This plaza marks what I think is the entrance to the main section of Old San Juan. Most of the traffic into this area passes by this plaza on the way to the nearby hotels and restaurants. The square isn’t very large, but the pillar and statue in the middle of the square stands prominently over the neighboring buildings.
