Hola Norman!

I lived in Old San Juan and Levittown Lakes back in the 70's.
I was 17 and worked as a go-go dancer and waitress in a little bar called The Big Bamboo on the waterfront. I wonder if it's still there? THOSE were the days! I still have family in Carolina.

Beautiful island!
You're going to love Spain!
Buen Camino!

Norman: 3 wks ago, I returned home from walking the Camino Frances from St Jean Pied de Port. A shorter but different experience from the one you are undertaking, but regardless of the distance or mode of doing it, you will have the time of your life! Buen camino :arrow:

Annie: First news that you lived in the island; you must speak spanish then! :wink: If you haven't been back since, The Big Bamboo, and most of the docks and old warehouses in the waterfront area have, over decades given way to a more ambitious project and given a much needed facelift to the entire harbour.

Saludos from San Juan

Annie ! The details of one's personal life that come out !!! At times the Camino feels like a confessional. I will read your sage advice with new eyes, knowing you once were a go-go dancer.

Norman, You will have an awesome time. Take time to see the sights and get to know people in the Albergues each evening.

David, Victoria, Canada.
