Back to San Juan (Weekend 9 & 10)
Sunday, April 01, 2007
We arrived back home to the Sheraton in San Juan on a Friday. Rob and I checked in and Rob got one of the dud rooms with a shower that didn’t work properly. I got the room that everyone in the team calls "The Suite". I don’t know why I got it, or what I had done to get it but it was fantastic. Its on the top floor of the hotel with 3 balconies, a dining room and a flat screen TV.
We went to work on Saturday for a half day and then went to the COCK FIGHTS. Which must be one of the most funniest things I have ever done, so fun that it deserves its own post (see COCK FIGHT post - still to come). So we went to the Cock fights from about 3pm and started drinking a few beers and then when it was done we went to some sushi restaurant for dinner and a few whiskeys, and then we headed back to "The Suite" for a round of beer pong. Such a great drinking game - all you have to do is throw the ping pong balls into the opponent's cup and they drink. So simple yet so effective.
We kept playing until about 11 and then hit some bars in Old San Juan for a while. At about 2 when I thought the night was over, Adfred insisted we go to Calle which is a club outside of Old San Juan and then to some other club somewhere in Puerto Rico which ended up being a sunrise drink cause we only got home at about 6am. Fun times.
Sunday we went to the beach with the locals from the team. We also bought a dog for our office. Her name is GiGi. She must be one the best behaved dogs I have ever seen. Sit GiGi sit… good dog.
The following weekend, Rob and I were headed for Boston to celebrate St. Patricks day, but to our surprise there was a massive snow storm on Friday and our flights were cancelled! Saturday we decided to go to one of the only Irish pubs in San Juan called Shannan's to celebrate St. Patricks day. We had a massive afternoon and were pretty wrecked by 7pm.
Sunday, myself Robot and Steve headed out to Vieques again to check out the rest of the beaches. We managed to get a flight there and back this time (no more ferry with bad hangovers) for only $50. We got there and rented a Jeep and had some lunch and beers at Banana's which was a winner of a spot on the coast. We then put the Jeep to work and managed to see most of the beaches on the southern side of the island. This was good.
Eventhough were didn’t make it back to Boson, we had a cracker of a weekend.
