Post-Elaine Final Adventures


My main "adventure" was working at the new EDS remittance center in Santurce. They had moved the operation from Citibank PR's headquarters in Rio Piedras to EDS's own facility. Here are some pictures from the new facility:

A few days after Elaine left, I tried harder and found directions to the Santurce Market. It's an old farmer's market - they sell island fruit and vegetables and some refreshments. I got a fruit smoothie and a meat pie for $4.00, for an early lunch on my way to work.
Each month they have "gallery night" in old San Juan. The galleries stay open late, and they have art festivals in the streets. Here is a replica of a New York City subway car with graffiti, a big painting, and an artist who sold me the print he is holding, which features the cobblestones of old San Juan.

I frequently got provisions at Pueblo, a supermarket chain in Puerto Rico. This store was in Santurce, but I also went to the store in old San Juan

At some point I went to a little bar named Maria's. I got a great rum drink there, and this bartender (who was not Maria), sold me some earrings and a necklace made of sea glass - old bottles worn down to look like pretty stones by the sea.
