San Juan, Puerto Rico

February 19, 2015
12 miles

How strange for me to be writing about a bike ride in February. A few weeks ago we were on a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean enjoying the sun and warm temperatures. I almost felt guilty knowing that back home the highs were in the 20's and it was snowing. I have decided that going on a cruise in February should be an annual event!

While in San Juan we decided to take a bike riding excursion. We rode past historic sights and beautiful beaches. Our tour guides were all born and raised in Puerto Rico and gave us quite a bit of San Juan  history during the ride. Had a very enjoyable time and felt completely safe riding on and through the streets of San Juan.
