San German streets and buildings - 13
A beautiful little town, with scenes like this interspersed with decaying buildings. The second oldest city in Puerto Rico.
Iglesia German de Auxerre Nave - 3
trompe-d'oeil (painted) ceiling. The priest let us come in and we had a lovely conversation with him...
Porta Coeli Museum... tiles
These were in a museum created to house religious art and artifacts. An excellent example of using images to tell the stories of the Bible.
San German - my patient husband
I wait patiently while theorems dance through his head and fall out, in ink, on paper. He waits patiently while I photograph everything in sight...
Love you, dear!

Elsewhere: Puerto Rico -- Today's Quiz
Elsewhere's Exclusive Quiz for the day: What do areas outside of Bloomington, Indiana have in common with the areas outside of San Juan, Puerto Rico?
The third important physiographic feature is the karst region in the north. This area consists of formations of rugged volcanic rock dissolved by water throughout the geological ages. This limestone region is an extremely attractive zone of extensive mogotes or haystack hills, sinkholes, caves, limestone cliffs, and other karst features. The karst belt extends from Aguadilla, in the west, to a minor haystack hills formation in Loíza, just east of San Juan.
And... if you'd like to learn ALL about karst, and see some good photos: look here
