Love the Old City of San Juan Puerto Rico!
It reminds me of an old walled European city.
But with larger American cars,
that mess up photos! Laughing…..
Old San Juan was founded in 1506 by Spain and some of the old buildings, need to be rennovated, which would be so much fun to do!
Others are meticulously well maintained.
When I come home everything looks beige by comparison.
Don’t you love such creative use of color?
Hope the vibrant architecture of beautiful Old San Juan cheers your day!
I reblogged rikki tikki tavi with the comment:-
I have not had time to post for a while. So I thought I would reblog something worth seeing. Two blogs, both have many fabulous photographs. These are just samples. They remind me of the worth of our planet and the best of our contributions to it. 🙂

Repeated on the other blog. Bye Bye 🙂
How wonderful of you! Your kindness is so appreciated~
awww shucks thing nothing of it ma’am 🙂
Always a darn car in the way! 😛 I can’t get over how colorful and vibrant everything is there! I imagine it must make the people who live there happy to see such cheery colors each day.
I think you imagine very correctly! The colors are uplifting, the cars? Not so much. These old cities are so better suited to the smaller cars ones sees in Europe!
mucho beauty!! Love this location of the world!! ♥ Thank you for the lovely tour!! ♥
Hard to beat the tropical beauty isn’t it! Muchos gracias~
Beautiful! It’s so colorful and festive!
Nice way to live one’s daily life nest pah!
oui oui!
flashy/glassigt
Ja vibrerande!
The colours and the scenes are so postcard pretty! My favourite is the fourth photograph. The perspective of the street with so many interesting details, including the cobbled street, the flags, the nun, and all the balconies and windows. It’s a gorgeous shot!
You have an eye for detail my friend. I did particulary love the nun in the old style habit walking down the old cobbled streets. I am so glad you did too!
Such beautiful pictures and so much colour. It really cheers you up just looking at them.
Here in the UK everything is grey, especially the buildings – sadly.
Have a lovely day!
Katarina 🙂
So happy you enjoyed them and hope they cheered your day! Thanks so much for the kind comments~
Gorgeous pictures!
So very nice to say and makes me most happy!! Gracias~
queste immagini sono davvero spettacolari e ringrazio il blogger Grahamatlinc per avermi permesso di poterlo ammirare!
see you soon
These images are truly spectacular and thank the blogger Grahamatlinc for letting me be able to admire!
You are very kind and I think your blog is spectacular! Graham is wonderful for introducing us~
You capture the colors of old San Juan so well, Cindy! Great pics!
How nice of you to say and how appreciated!
Cindy, thank you for sharing these beautiful images from San Juan. Really enjoyed them. Hugs! Veraiconica
Hugz and appreciation back to you my friend~
Such vibrancy and white is gorgeous too!
It is isn’t it. Never thought of this before……..
Nor did I before..I was looking at my pictures later….interesting isn’t it?
It is interesting, in that we both didn’t see it initially. I didn’t see it until you pointed it out. Odd perceptual filtering. Glad you pointed it out!
The colors are so VIVID! We likey!
Well, who knew a cow could have such diserning taste………Muhcos gracias!
All I need in life is a battered turquoise wall and some sunshine, Cindy 🙂
Beautiful pics!
Ahhhh, yes! The best things in life!
Beautiful, gorgeous, colorful photos, I can visualize it, and can’t believe that a year has past since we were there. I’m not sure if I responded to your question before (I have been so busy)… this weekend we are visiting my son, a short visit. On the last day of March, we are flying into Delhi 2 days, to Singapore 2 days, take a 31-day cruise on Ocean Princess to 2 stops Malaysia, Mumbai, Oman, Dubai and all East of Africa to Cape Town. As elites! 😀 ))) After that, Mid Sept, we are going to Japan for 6 weeks (includes all around japan cruise of 27 days). I guess that’s it for 2014. I will come home with mediocre photos to share. 😉
Laughing……you will come home with marveous posts to share! I can’t wait to see them! We will be elite for our cruise to Russia in September……I wonder when we will be on the same ship? I will definitely know you when I see you! What spectacular plans my friend, you know to live your life to the max! One never knows when it will end. I want to do the Japan cruise too. Cannot wait to hear your thoughts on Africa. I am in love with the continent. Sending your comment to Jim. Have a wonderful time with you son this weekend. Next time I head to SF, I will alert you to see if we can meet~
Spending time together in SF? I’m already so excited!
Me 2!
And, we scoff at bold colors in our neighborhoods!
Oscar
Yes! It’s almost like breaking a taboo in typical American neighborhoods to choose color. Who ordained a beige life for us I wonder!
Sears?
laughing~
I could use all the usual superlatives, but shall just say “WOW” love your blog 🙂
Kenny2dogs.
That is so nice! Smiling~
It definitely has a European flair to me (but I never been either place!). Hubby says it doesn’t look all that different from when he was there in the early 70s!
Yes, this old city stays the same I bet! Cheers to you ma deah~
Seems like you would never be sad being surrounded by all those bright beautiful colors! Really lovely. thx for the photos:)
So schöne Bilder sind alle Klasse.Wünsche ein gutes und schönes Wochenende liebe Grüße und Freundschaft.Gislinde
Thank You Cindy for liking my Painting 🙂 *Cynthia

Vielen danke freund!! 🙂 🙂
I just love all of your wonderful tile shots, Cindy! Each and every one of them! They remind me of some of our most wonderful times in Avalon on Cataliina Island.
Yep, a fellow tile lover in addition to eveything else we have in common. I love handmade tiles! Great to hear from you~
Wow Wow Wow! Your eye for a breathtaking photo is amazing! The colors in these photos are beautiful! I wish we lived close so I could be your student, well at least carry your equipment : ) hehe
