More From Puerto Rico

Last weekend we got to play a concert in San Juan at the historic Luis A. Ferre Performing Arts Center. The hall was really beautiful, but it's hard for anything indoors there to live up to what's outdoors...


We had some time to walk around in Old San Juan, which is awesome - kind of old European in feel - with brightly painted houses, narrow cobblestone streets, and impressive 16th and 17th century fortresses.



And we found some great local food. I loved my Mofongo Relleno de Pollo at Bebo's Cafe. A mofongo is a yummy thing made of mashed plaintains. It's sort of potato-like in texture but also crispy. In this picture it's kind of hiding under the wonderfully marinated chicken.

You should consider publishing a photographic journal of your adventurous trips. Also perhaps a musicians' cookbook based on your travels!

Oh, Donna, if that's you in the black dress walking down that narrow sidewalk, please refrain from being back to the flow of traffic out of concern for impatient tourists who may jump the sidewalk in a fit of pique as they do often in urban areas, providing, of course, they don't get fined by the constabulary for their wreckless actions.
