On Thursday we went to Old San Juan for a food tour. It was one of the few times we had something other than fried xyz, you fill in the blank. Although for our main meal, we made Mofongo – mashed fried plantains mixed with butter and garlic. <\/p>\n

Like much of the Caribbean, rum is the alcohol of choice. Puerto Rico had the best rums I had ever experienced. <\/p>\n

We also had some sort of spice – this red sauce that was hot but didn’t linger in your mouth. Very unique – might have been Sofrito. Of course we ate it on some sort of fried thing.<\/p>\n

Old San Juan is surrounded by a fort wall that is 16 feet thick and a couple hundred feet high. The buildings are colorful and sometimes reminiscent of New Orleans.<\/p>\n

They have these bizarre cat-dragon statues throughout the city – apparently making fun of the cities stray cat problem.<\/p>\n
