Puerto Rico -- 3 October 2010








Woke up this morning at Hotel Belgica in the original downtown section of Ponce, the second-largest city in Puerto Rico. The hotel was built in 1832 and had a nice, classic feel to it. If it had anything hotter than luke-warm water, we would have enjoyed it much more. Yesterday afternoon was spent driving along the coast in the southeast corner of the island. A new expressway makes the driving faster, easier, and safer, but the old Route 3 gave us better views of the coastline and kept the adrenaline up. We ate dinner at a small downtown restaurant named Chef's Creations, a modern chef tucked away in an old colonial city. Good presentation of classic food, with modern prices.
