Old San Juan Puerto Rico: Christmas Spirit

We went to Old San Juan on Christmas day. From Rincon it's only a 2 hour drive if there's no traffic. We arrived around 7 am. The streets were empty and cold. Not even the pigeons were moving.

We shot photograph after photograph. There were a few homeless persons already asking for money. We gave out a few Christmas dollars.

Around 10 am we heard singing in the distance: Christmas Carolers. We found them singing and giving out food.

They sang near the parks where homless slept. This church group returns every Christmas. We followed them for a few songs. They sang traditional Puerto Rican Christmas songs and gospel music with Spanish lyrics. Their singing invoked the Christmas spirit to Old San Juan.
