I must hand it to Radisson they really do try. When we were in St. Helena there was a planned tea which was to be served at the Governor's mansion. The Governor, I was told, had second thoughts about providing his estate for the function after we had embarked on the world cruise. When we got to St. Helena the ship's dining room staff visited the substituted facilities and determined that they were not to the standards of a Radisson cruise. To compensate for this canceled event, a cocktail party was arranged in San Juan Puerto Rico at a former Carmelite convent which, was now a hotel. It was a lovely event with Puerto Rican traditional music and foods. |

The church next to the hotel is the
oldest church in the Western Hemisphere. It was built in 1502 and rebuilt
in 1540 after a fire. Cool!! |

Donna and I knew it was
getting time to leave when we were no longer interested in the food and
I was running out of jokes for the web site. The trip is over in two days.
Just perfect. |
