My Adventure on El Tren Urbano de San Juan

I can visit the island of Puerto Rico a thousand times and always find something new and different to do.  On my last 'busication' (business/vacation) I was fortunate to hop on the Tren Urbano.  Thank to my sister Kimi and her hubby Machy for making it possible!  As I've oftentimes expressed on this blog, I am a trainophile—in order words, I love trains and anything that has to do with them.

El Tren Urbano of San Juan was a most pleasurable experience.  I was pleasantly surprised at the rare opportunity given me to ride the rails of the tiny island's metropolitan area.  I never tire of saying that "God works in mysterious ways."  Out of what could have been a sad time, God turned it around to make every day of my two-week stay practically blissful.  That day, it happened to be the San Juan Urban Train ride.  I paid for roundtrip tickets for the three of us, riding from Rio Piedras to Bayamon and back on just the departing tickets.  We never descended the train because we just wanted to experience the pure pleasure of riding the rail.  I left the tickets with my dear Kimi and Machy, for whenever the bug bites to ride the train again.

If you happen to be visiting, by all means hop a ride on El Tren Urbano—you won't be disappointed.
