Wednesday evening after work they went to a Bio-luminescent Bay and went on a boat tour. The water has single celled organisms that give off light like a firefly when the water was agitated. They got to go swimming in it and could even see fish streaking through the water. Roy said it was an incredible experience and he is thankful his coworker convinced him to go along. It was too dark so it didn't allow for taking photos, but here is a video you can watch that is similar to what they experienced.

Thursday after the work day they drove to San Juan to catch flights on Friday. They visited Old San Juan and this statue of Christopher Colon (AKA Columbus).
The quaint streets of Old San Juan.
Roy's flight left out of San Juan on Friday around 2:30pm so he had the morning to do some exploring on his own. Many of the roofs of the houses were covered with blue tarps, waiting on roof repair following the hurricane.
He visited the Spanish forts and wall surrounding Old San Juan. This is a sentry box where soldiers would be posted on look out.
Not too shabby of a view.
The fort and old wall surrounding Old San Juan.
An open grassy field that people like to fly kits at because of the constant breeze by the ocean.
You can see an old cemetery on the right side of this photo..
A view of the fort. It had 6 levels and was fun to look around and explore the different areas.
You can see the slots where they would position canons and soldiers to fight back the enemy.
This fort was built by the Spanish to protect their settlement there. Construction began in the 1500's and it was added on to for several hundred years as more protection was needed. This is the moat surrounding the fort.

A triangular staircase was more efficient for the soldiers.
This ramp may have been for moving supplies, horses, and cannons.

Adios Puerto Rico, you made for a fun adventure.
