Travel Thursday - Old San Juan

We've been in San Juan a few times. Mostly boarding cruise ships. last fall, I was able to actually visit San Juan while participating in my youngest sisters wedding. We had a blast. There was a beach a short walk from our hotel and believe me we used it - A LOT!  We had a lot of wedding related activities so we didn't explore too much. We had a chance to visit Old San Juan and eat at the very popular Dragonfly Restaurant.
One of the bridesmaids and her husband stayed at LaConcha: A Renaissance Resort. This place was GORGEOUS!! If we ever go again, this is where I want to stay. Seriously, how cool is this place:

From Yahoo Travel:
Founded in 1521 by Ponce de León, the capital of Puerto Rico, San Juan, is the oldest city on US territory. The metropolitan area of San Juan is home to half of the island's almost four million citizens; it is also the heart of Puerto Rican tourism. The city is best known for its beautifully restored historic district, Old San Juan, situated on a rocky peninsula girded by twenty-feet thick walls jutting into the crashing Atlantic surf. Unlike other such gems of Spanish colonial architecture, San Juan also offers miles of smooth sand.

Here is the happy couple in Old San Juan.
