This is the Castillo de San Felipe del Morro. It's enormous, beautiful, and very old. Building began in 1539, and it was completed 50 years later in 1589. It was taken once during battle by the English, who withdrew 6 weeks later. There are 6 levels and the walls are 18 feet thick. Another interesting tidbit, Steven Spielberg used the fort as a set for the film Amistad.

From the beginning of this project, I had intended to use a picture of my eyes for this theme. This little ghost crab changed my mind. I've always been amazed at the way their eyes pop up from their head, and by the way they move around!

This is the Capella de Cristo. It's located at the edge of a cliff at the end of Calle Cristo (which is the street shown in the picture below - the chapel is behind me in this picture). The chapel was built in 1753 after a rider on horseback fell over the cliffs. There are conflicting stories about whether the person lived or died, and whether the chapel was built as a memorial to the miracle of his survival or in order to block the cliffs and prevent a similar accident in the future. We spoke to several people in the city about the chapel, and were told lots of different things. It's a beautiful little chapel. We didn't get to go inside because it's only open to the public on Tuesdays.

Many of the streets in Old San Juan are cobblestone. They're a different type of cobblestone than I was used to seeing. These are blue cobblestones made from the ballast of Spanish galleon and they're over 500 years old. They're gorgeous and they really add to the ambiance of Old San Juan. Below is a good example of this.

I love to see waves crashing on the shore. I was lucky enough to catch this shot right as the wave hit the rocks along the shoreline.

This giraffe looks like he's angry, thus the theme. However, he's actually just chewing on some grass. Isn't he cute?

Okay, this is a series of photos which need an explanation. The chimpanzee exhibit at the Baltimore Zoo has a fairly young chimp. The afternoon we visited, this little chimp was determined to climb up a rope and climb across a limb. Unfortunately, he fell from the limb every single time. It was too cute. This series features his climb up the robe, maneuvering on the limb, and finally, the very tail end of his fall.
