The Treasure Hunt: San Juan, Puerto Rico

I could hardly sit still in my seat while flying into Puerto Rico. My Ipod is plugged in my ears for calming yet I could hardly focus on anything besides my mission to find amazing treasures to bring back home.

The weather in San Juan is extremely hot and i'm loving it because back home the weather is set at spring. The scene in San Juan makes me feel like I'm on the set of an old Spanish movie. Shop after shop I search for something that is good for me to use while I'm on the go. I came across a brown leather purse that is just right to keep a small wallet, phone, note pad, pen and of course my camera. I also have a thing for bracelets so I was hoping to find different ones in each of the places I visit. My luck, I find a beautiful leather band that has the Puerto Rico flag and a pretty pink flower engraved on it.
