On November 15 we flew from Portland, Oregon to San Juan, Puerto Rico to embark on a two-week cruise among the Caribbean islands. Our ship embarked on November 17, so we had November 16 to explore San Juan. We tend to regard murals as a significant contemporary art form, and the Santurce neighborhood in San Juan was said to have a large collection of street art, so we decided to make that our destination. Indeed, Santurce has many fine murals, of which I'll be able to show only a modest selection over the next three postings of this blog.
The first image is not a mural at all, but rather a segment of the view of insulated pipes on the roof of our hotel, as seen from our room. Every bit as surreal as the painted images.
