I've been averaging ten or eleven hours of sleep every night so far, but I might have to cut some corners somewhere... Thanks for taking us along, we were there in 2019 and didn't see as much as you did so Thank You! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 7, 2022 Author #1277 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I guess that I'm going to check out Cucina for dinner, not that I need anything extremely heavy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the old buildings here. People in America don't appreciate old World architecture, and they just bulldoze buildings like these down and build new ones. If you haven't already, hopefully someday you'll have a chance to visit Havana! Talk about beautiful architecture! The detail and colors and textures are really something to behold. There's even a mysterious beauty to the buildings that are falling apart - like you KNOW those walls have seen some things. And the food in Havana is amazing! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same exact thought when I was in the Mediterranean last month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 7, 2022 Author #1281 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Guess I'm going to do the Nonna's meatballs, veal marsala, broccoli and cauliflower, and spinach. Doesn't really sound like me, but I'm trying to do different things... Also, I think they got rid of the tomahawk pork chop... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanDeeDee Posted December 7, 2022 #1286 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Thanks for taking us on your tour of San Juan. I haven't been there for a few years, but some of your photos looked familiar and brought back memories. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2022 Author #1288 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) I'm only two courses in, but I'm already ready to get out of here... The lady on my left (with the HEAVIEST Southern accent I've ever heard, and I'm from the South) hasn't stopped talking for five seconds the entire time I've been here. She even talks while she's chewing... The two other guys to my right also haven't stopped for even a single second, and I'm nowhere near drunk enough to take it... I almost want to just ask for the rest to go... ***I don't mind listening to people talk, I just can't stand hearing about gambling... It's something that's just foreign to me. I'm not judging people who do it, I just would rather not hear someone go on and on and on about it...

luvcruzing Posted December 8, 2022 #1289 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Sid, you sure covered a lot of ground on your tour of San Juan. Great photos, too. You sure have an eye for photography. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2tcdx2 Posted December 8, 2022 #1293 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Loved seeing Hotel Milano there in San Juan, we stayed there many years ago before a cruise on the Pride. We always go see the kitties at the fort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I worked and have since retired in Alabama. Grew up in Miami. Spent 23 years in the Air Force moving about. I do enjoy it here, but I have zero southern accent. A lot of people still say "you're not from around here are you" even though I've lived here for twenty years. 🤣 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2022 Author #1297 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Once I was done at Cucina, I ran like the wind... Hopefully, it's still complimentary for those with anytime dining... Time for a drink. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed seeing your SJ pictures, it was like seeing it for the first time. Even though I was in SJ in August we had a crappy port time, 3pm-11:59pm. By the time we got off the ship it was already getting dark so we just wandered around in the dark for a while not seeing much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived down there for a long time but was actually born in St Louis so I guess I can't take offense. They wouldn't claim me because I wasn't born under an Azalea Bush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
