Although we mostly relaxed on the beach, we did go to Old San Juan and saw the forts known as the Guardians of the Caribbean built by the Spaniards. The massive masonry defenses were built in the 1500s. It was where Christopher Columbus discovered Puerto Rico back in 1493 and it was very cool to walk through the forts and see the gorgeous views.
For New Years we went out for dinner and then went back to our hotel for the party and live band. The coolest part was the fireworks on the beach at midnight! The funny thing was that neither us or the other couple that came with us had watches, so when we knew it was getting close to midnight and I realized we didn't have our camera, I sent David to get it, thinking that we had enough time. The other wife sent her husband to get drinks. But we were too late and they were both off fulfilling our demands when the clock struck midnight! Oops. But what great husbands we have starting off the new year doing what we tell them. :-)

The beach was right out the back door of our hotel.
