It’s that time of year. Summer is almost over and many Americans (especially those living in the northern states) are deciding where they’re going to spend the crudest winter months.

Yesterday was a great day in Old San Juan. Despite a little rain a few minutes before commencement, the 2014 edition of the San Sebastian Street Fiestas started right on time about 5:00pm. Writing a whole new post about the 2014 San Sebastian Street Fiestas (or SanSe 2014, like the younger crowd has come to call them) would be redundant. Continue reading…
