PR Day 3: El Morro

As a kid I remember being sick of El Morro. Now I try to visit each time I go to PR. The scale and sense of history are not meaningful to a child. Who were the individuals who laid those massive walls? Can a computer geek from New Mexico have any idea of the working conditions in sixteenth-century Puerto Rico? What pressures or (mis)beliefs led people to waste so much effort on such a silly and pointless military endeavor? What lessons can we learn from that?

As we left we missed a rainstorm by mere minutes. We headed off to El Hamberguer for a memorable late lunch, then wrapped up the day with a slide show.

Mom's car is in the shop but she has a loaner.
