Editorial Summary

The creators explore Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, noting that they are among the first cruise passengers to visit the port since the pandemic. They begin by visiting a monument dedicated to the resilience of the island following Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The vlog focuses heavily on local culinary experiences, including a visit to a themed restaurant to try mofongo, which they describe as a delicious dish of mashed plantains served with skirt steak and chimichurri. They also sample a house-special mojito and limbers, a refreshing frozen treat purchased from a local woman. While they attempt to find mallorca pastries, they are unsuccessful due to the time of day. The trip includes a visit to a famous pigeon park where they interact with the birds and a stop at a restaurant claiming to be the birthplace of the piΓ±a colada, which they highly recommend. The day concludes with a return to their cruise ship for dinner at Jamie's Italian and an ice skating show.
