Buenos dias de San Juan

And so its raining on beach day... (started raining as soon as Martin and I got there). It's been a good lazy wandering around day after the last few action-packed days of cave-exploring and "death hikes" - yesterday's hike down, across and back up the canyon made the Shad Valley "death hikes" in the Rockies look like a piece of cake. Will upload pictures later.

It's interesting how everything here is Americanized yet not. The mall here looks like any old US mall, you can get any type of ethnic food imaginable. However, going out with Ricardo Sunday night, his friends were shocked and horrified that I could not speak Spanish. Instead of choosing to embrace either the metric or other system, they've adopted both (distances in highways are in km and speed limits are in miles).
