Of course no Marshall Taylor vacation is complete without a history lesson and Old San Juan is steeped in history! This portion of San Juan is very similar to Old Havana in that it is the original colonial section of a major Spanish settlement and is protected from occupation by other colonial empires by very impressive forts. In this case there were originally seven forts that were all joined by a towering stone wall. The remnants of the wall are represented here by the thick black lines which essentially surround Old San Juan and the two remaining forts are adjacent to the large beige areas in the map. (Most of the land outside those walls is landfill added in later centuries.)
I took a satellite image of my old stomping grounds in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from Google Maps and added notes here in Flickr. Cool.

I know - I'm a sap. I'm still new enough to driving that this stuff is still interesting to me.
I took my first motorway journey yesterday - scary to say the least, then after a few minutes (getting into the traffic is the worst bit) very peaceful and relaxing.
The one thing I could never have predicted before learning to drive (at my advanced age!) was that I'd enjoy it so much.
Thanks to the wonderful Lorraine for coming with.
