Puerto Rico

[NoCage]

Our company is setting up a branch office in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I was asked to assess the office for Local and Wide-Area networking. So, my brother & I fly up Thursday, work in the new office Friday, and do other stuff until the return flight Tuesday. My Dad was born in Vega Baja, P.R., and I still have family there. What a stroke of luck this was. Anyway, I thought I'd post some pictures... no bike though.

Man! The Caribbean is just so awesome. So many of those islands are appealing in so many different ways. I've yet to see PR, other than traveling through San Juan. A few friends at work are natives, and they rave about the place. I think I'd like to check it out. Thanks for the pics.

So true Odot. There's talk of banning all vehicular traffic in Old San Juan. I guess the residents there would have some kind of sticker.
Something I left out in pictures and word... there are some MAJOR Latino hotties there... they just seem to make more of an effort through excercise and makeup and dress to "light the fire".

Oh yeah a real ******** if you ask me? (You lucky *******)

At least they park on the correct side of the street!

Cheers mate a good luck oh and pics of the hotties please

Sorry Thug... while it was my intention to capture some of the local hotties... I didn't. The camera just hung benignly at my side... I guess I was drooling. I promise more skin on the next trip.

Make sure you follow the rules when you drive in PR... the rules are:

1) A yellow light at an intersection means "Speed up"

2) A red light at an intersection means only 3 more cars can go through

3) Any stretch of land on, in, or near a road that is flat and unmuddy (debatable) can be driven on. So if you're in the inside lane on a 2 lane highway, and somebody passes you on the inside using the breakdown lane, and it's a bus, while a motorcycle passes on the improved shoulder on the far right, while some blue-hair drives her Dodge Dart on the grassy, but fairly dry and flat first 8 feet of the side of the road, don't forget to check your rear view mirror for the 4-Runner that is driving on your bumper.
