Old San Juan is not only one of the most beautiful and well preserved cities in the Caribbean, it is also its cruise capital. Ships use its port as a base for week long cruises of the Islands.  Even with tourism, the old town is showing signs of the global economic crisis. Here are some photos I took Friday, July 10th.  With no ships in, the city can look empty, smaller, local stores are closed and some sit waiting for customers.
