Going through Old San Juan, a city which all of us have been
to numerous time was strangely different this time. Perhaps some of the
locations listed were slightly familiar although it was clear nobody knew much
about our own, Viejo San Juan. Being able to go to each one and asking people
for directions was incredibly fun although at the same time quite difficult due
to the weather that day. Learning about something which is right beneath our noses
offered a new perspective to learning, there are things which we can learn all
around us, we just need to be open and curious to learn. With those two
qualities you can learn anything. Additionally, learning about every location
offered even more of an in depth understanding of how rich the city’s history
is. Each of these locations has a significance in the history of Viejo San
Juan. It is amazing how much has been left in the city, it almost seems to be
stuck in the past almost. Even some of the streets are still of the same
cobblestone which was used to pave the roads hundreds of years ago. The fort,
El Morro, still stands strong and was a turning point in Puerto Rico’s history.
Learning about all these things shed light on how important and rich Puerto
Rico’s history really is.
