We spent the day at the beach across the street from Holiday Inn Express, in Condado; very nice sand. Steve walked in the sand all day without shoes. This was a first for him, since being run over by a car when he was 19. Felt great!!!!!, and the beaches are so clean! We got a six-pack of Modella beer ($6) at Walgreens (they are all over the island) and enjoyed it on the beach. By lunch time, we needed to get out of the sun so we took a trip to the new Walmart. It was about 2 miles from our hotel. We had great grilled sandwiches for lunch at their deli; very fresh and nice ($5) each. Yes, a good meal at Walmart...go figure!
After spending the afternoon back at the beach we went back to the hotel, cleaned up and went to Old Town San Juan for dinner. Our friend, Kathy, who's husband grew up in Puerto Rico, and the web both recommended El Jibarito's for good local cuisine. We arrived at 8:00 and had about one hour wait. The wait was pleasant, as the weather outside was perfect! It was really good, authentic food for ~$10 per person. After dinner, we took a long slow walk back through Old Town which was very busy with both tourists and locals.
