The West End (from the North/South MARTA line)

Ever since I read in Creative Loafing that someone actually lives in this water tower, I've wanted to see the inside.

Views from the West End station.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, city of contrasts in sunset pixeled relief: music (I can hear it pulsing from my neighbor's room right now), graffiti, kindness of strangers, "te amo" shouted from a hoopty.

Today I rode the metro (Tren Urbano) and visited the Universidad de Puerto Rico Rio Piedras campus.

Later I ate dinner, as alone as one can be in the lobby of "El Marriott," and watched loving older couples do the cha-cha-cha. I love this town!
