RE: Market Friday loves Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

in Market Friday5 years ago

Another beautiful market post! The streets do look quite attractive in all of the pictures, and I think it's pretty impressive that you even know the details of how the cobblestones were made, but I'm not surprised! 🙂

There's a brick-paved road that I take once in awhile where I live, but I have to go very slow on it as there are lots of uneven places and dips in the road.

Irma really hit them hard, and I got to experience Irma too - just not there. It was weaker when we got hit, but it was still quite destructive.

Thank you! I was actually in Florida when Irma hit. I felt like we were the only ones on the road heading south. No hotels were available, food places were closed... I think it was trying to tell me something.

I'm always curious when I see something I know nothing about. The extra knowledge always fascinates me. The cobblestones were brilliant. They were so ingenious long ago.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your always kind and generous words. I look forward to it!

#MarketFriday loves you!

Interesting! Where were you going at the time, when you were heading south? Were you already in Florida and got kind of trapped, or were you doing a Stormchasers segment? 😅

I was checking out my house down there (unrelated to the storm) and my kids saw the car on the news in DC because we were the only people on the road at the time headed into the storm.

Oh, baby, you know it! Chasing the storm! LOL

Haha! That's kind of funny now, but I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time your kids saw you, the only car headed into the storm! Did any of your friends in DC see your car on the road also?

Only the kids and one friend knew we were there and the only reason anyone thought anything of it is the newscaster made fun of the car going the wrong way. :)

LOL! I don't remember seeing it. We were all at my daughter's house riding the storm out, and maybe I was on cooking duty when that was on TV. We took turns, and of course, some couldn't cook. My daughter never lost electricity, while my whole neighborhood, a few miles away, didn't have power for over a week!
