Old San Juan

The district of Old San Juan is full of great architecture and quaint little shops and cafes.  The streets are made of an amazing blue - black cobble stone.  The buildings are painted every pastel of the rainbow.  A lot of cruise ships stop at this port.

While we were in San Juan a cruise liner must have stopped to port. We were enjoying the quiet uncrowded city and suddenly there were MEN everywhere. Thousands and thousands of MEN! Any guesses on what kind of cruise it was? I had Ben snap a picture of this group of men gathered outside a little shop called "Sassy Girl." I could resist the humor!
