In Puerto Rico. With Memorials.

San Juan is full of them.

Some obelisk for I forget what.


Statues of various presidents.  

 Memorial listing wars and names of Puerto Ricans who have died in them.

Memorial to aboriginal inhabitants of Puerto Rico.

 Memorial to people I don't remember who they were.



With that, I think I have reached the end of Puerto Rico pictures.

Not Caturday Post: Streets of San Juan

My cats are out of sorts and out of order due to a vet visit this week, so here, finally , are more photos from Puerto Rico.

Important buildings!

Prettily colored buildings with fancy balconies!



Some old mission, probably.  





 Random chapel.


 Fanciful chairs!



Pretty flowers and trees!


Beatific harbor view, except for pelicans.  I hate pelicans.




Art(?) against the city wall.  I am there to provide scale.  



Fountains!




There were also a depressing number of memorials, but those can be later.

Happy Pi Day!

I made a grasshopper pie, following a recipe I found at The Brown Eyed Baker.



Anyone else making/eating something thematic today?

Friday Fabulosity: More Ships with Hats

This is apparently a not uncommon item of fashion at certain convention.  Zounds the fabulosity!
