Hurricane Irene

8/24/2011

The other day, hurricane Irene was kind enough to "breeze" through.  Our jurassic dinosaur of a building retracted her metal scaled windows as we prepared for a deluge.  The hyped storm on the news turned out to be just lots of rain and the occasional wind snap.  In the middle of the night I woke up and recorded some of the storm.  I happened to catch the culprit lightning strike that knocked out San Juan's power for half a day.  The first pic is .....the calm before the storm.








So here is some more pics of the city.  Some of the architecture is interesting. Some buildings are modeled in a colonial style where others are modern styling.  Some need to be condemed.  And I believe that every one of the 1,000,000,000,000 buildings in San Juan has some type of grafiti on it.  Puerto Ricans are a colorful people.






As with any big city there is this.....  

I've had several people ask me for money.

Oh check this out.... this is what every book store around campus looks like.  How can they find anything!


Voy a escribir mas pronto!
