San Juan, Puerto Rico

This is where I'm staying in the Carolina District, at the corner of Calle Rosa and Isla Verde. The internet connection is spotty, at best, but the air conditioning works great. The local beer is called Medalla and is quite good, also a shot, who's name I can't recall, is made from 2/3 vanilla vodka and 1/3 frangelico. Yummy!!!

There's an arts district in the old section of Bradenton, with many galleries and stores to peruse and a few restaurants.

This is the sidewalk leading up to one of the galleries. Maybe I should do something like this at my home in Canada.

We spent a Saturday on a ten hour fishing excursion into the Gulf of Mexico, leaving from Marina Jack's in Sarasota.

This is the end, when the catches are being gutted. The pelicans arrive and help themselves to the parts we won't touch.

I did catch a shark, but I had to release it.
