Wandering in Old San Juan

This was our last full day here in Puerto Rico, and so I took the opportunity to just wander through the streets of old San Juan. It is a very historic, quaint city, with colorful buildings and friendly people.  It is also in need of much maintenance and beautiful buildings are sadly in decay.  I visited the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, (pics below), and it needs a lot of restoration work.  I felt so bad for a local lady who was sitting quietly with her rosary, obviously praying, surrounded by jabbering selfie-stick waving tourists who had little awareness or respect for the sacred space they were invading. Heading home to Charleston tomorrow.
