Sea Term '97 San Juan, Puerto Rico

The Patriot State was docked next to some of the worlds largest cruise ships. These ships increase the weekend population of San Juan by ten thousand people.

Puerto Rico was a Spanish colony for over 400 years, this can be seen in much of the local architecture.
