Old San Juan, a New Love

I love when I am pleasantly surprised about a place and Puerto Rico fits the bill in spades. I expected to like the island, I love this place. Instead of a smaller clone of Miami, I saw a place that vibrates with class and culture. Old San Juan is stunning and well worth spending some time in.We had lunch at a place called Raices (Roots) that features local grub. The dishes were a perfect example of Puerto Rico's blending, native, Spanish and contemporary.
