Cuartel de Ballajá in Old San Juan

My Thoughts on the Image

A week ago we decided to adventure in Old San Juan with new friends.

We ended up in el Museo de Las Americas in Old San Juan.

This museum is located in the Cuartel de Ballajá (Ballajá Barracks).

Walking into this building reminded me of my trips with my parents around Old San Juan. It had been a while since I had going in and enjoyed the courtyard. So I decided to take a  picture using my Nikon AW1 camera on a small tripod.

A fun day where many memories of my childhood came up. Old San Juan will always be one of my favorite places to visit.
