The day that we were in San Juan was our 18th wedding anniversary. We did research before we left, seeking a place to eat lunch that would be reasonably priced and serve some local fare. We decided that Punto de Vista Restaurant would be the place. However, we had trouble locating it, even with a map. We had left my favorite stop in San Juan, The Butterfly People and walked in the general direction of the place. But still we couldn't find it. Seeing our problem with the map and the looks of concern we had, a young man approached and asked if we needed assistance. We told him where we wanted to go and he said that he would take us there. If fact, he went there on a regular basis himself to get a cold soda pop. It was around a couple of corners and down the block, but he got us to the front door. And while we chatted there, one of the restaurant employees handed him his usual cold soda pop, his reward (plus our tip) for guiding us to the place. This is their beverage menu. I found it interesting for the different pricing and the listings of all kinds of things about the beers. It was a small place, with tables set up outside. It is conveniently located near the cruise ship piers and the food was tasty and well presented. As we sat there, I noticed a steady stream of customers picking up their carry out orders. The locals like the food, too.

JIm, you captured the beauty of the artwork beautifully. Your photos are great. Sure enjoyed this part of your trip, but you've got to go back and take some pics of the "ladies room". lol.

From the sign: The Garden of Troy is also of Islamic origin. Vermondo Resta constructed the gardenâÂÂs rustic gallery at the beginning of the 17th century. It is the earliest example in the Real Alcazar gardens of the rustic style inspired by architectural treatises of the time and it is clearly Mannerist in character. This influence is also seen in the heads carved on the capitals above the gallery pilasters.

Very nice. I've been on two Princess cruises, I could LIVE on a cruise ship!
