Old San Juan, second fortress


At the end of the Malecon of sorts sits the second fortress. As in Havana, it is called El Morro. Which makes it even more unsettling when you are greeted by uniformed American park rangers.
To reach it you need to cross a massive grassy area, where moms come play with their babies and local youths demonstrate calisthenics.Inside, it is as empty and sternly geometric as San Cristobal.

Even the pigeons match.





Alain en contemplation des horizons lointains.

Still don't know what that pink dome is - it looks out of place, but is certainly handsome.




On imagine facilement le lieu inspirant au Brassens local une supplique pour être enterré sur la falaise de San Juan.
