Today’s adventure is a bus ride to Old San Juan (75 cents), catch the ferry (50 cents) to Cantano, and finally a taxi ride ($3) to the Barcardi Distillery.

Amusing note: the person who dinged my car called this morning with an apology and a promise to make it good. Restores a little faith in humanity.

Again, breakfast at Pinky’s (lox, bagel, cream cheese, onions, tomatoes, capers) and then we are off to the distillery. For not really knowing where we were going other than some vague directions, we managed to do really well.

Tour (free) included two free drink coupons and the tour in English would be in 20 minutes — time for one of those free drinks but he didn’t take the coupon — lucky me. I had a Mojito. Onto the trolley we go — to see the Visitor’s Center will all the exhibits, movies, and those art gallery self-paced tour wands. Felt a little rushed, but we did have time to send a video postcard to Lisa (Dan’s wife). You can find that postcard at: http://www.twango.com/media/markso.puertorico2006/markso.11339 and while you are there, you can look at all the other pictures from that trip (and others).

Dinner tonight was two different sushi restaurants. East (reasonable priced sushi, valet parking, OK quality, small but good sake list) and Wasabi (15% more expensive, automatic 15% service charge, valet parking, cool designer interior, better quality sushi though the slices of their roll items were uneven, good wine list, bad sake list).
