Hope you have a great trip.<br /><br />I was in Old San Juan for my trip. 2 Places to try<br /><br />1. 216 Calle Tetuan - Verde Mesa....Vegetarian and Vegan Friendly, Very good<br /><br />2. Mojitos - I spoke to David (he stands outside and "directs" tourists into the restaurant) and let him know I didn't eat any animal products. He steered me through the menu and made great suggestions of things that were made without animal products - Black Beans, Yellow Rice, Green Plantain Soup, Tostones and the Mofongo Relleno can be made with a delicious vegetable stuffing. <br /><br />Hope you have a great time.<br /><br />Es un Isla Encate!Vegeasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12556974899331248661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-81936958832796467382010-04-10T21:27:24.704-04:002010-04-10T21:27:24.704-04:00I'm going to Puerto Rico in May.

Too bad you didn't get to climb a tree, but when you pick mangos they ooze super-sticky latex all over you, so it's better to pick them up from the ground anyways.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526136978255752695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-18121717968991994922007-07-01T15:26:00.000-04:002007-07-01T15:26:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-69350019264659457792007-07-01T09:39:00.000-04:002007-07-01T09:39:00.000-04:00All the foods and fresh produce look amazing.
