The bronze statues of U.S. presidents are located on the Paseo de los Preisentes (Walkway of the Presidents), They are a collection of life-size bronze statues located on Avenida de la Constitución in front of the Capitol of Puerto Rico in San Juan. This charming walkway calls visitors to explore and discover!
It features U.S. presidents who visited the island while in office, including FDR, Herbert Hoover, Theodore Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, and Obama. As of 2019, the walkway does not yet include a statue for Donald Trump, who visited in 2017 after Hurricane Maria.
We last visited in 2026 and remain noticing no broze statue of President Trump. Come explore the walkway of Presidents in Puerto Rico through our eyes! The impressive history of the visits from former U.S. Presidents memorialized in bronze is intriguing, one can immerse themselves in it’s lure and historical references on an afternoon stroll!

SNORKELING OPPORTUNITIES
If you take cruises seeking some sun and sand fun, then you will have a blast in San Juan. There are plenty of beaches in San Juan, but the most popular are Condado, Isla Verde, and ocean park beaches. Head to your right from the cruise pier, in about 15 minutes you will reach downtown San Juan. That’s where all the beaches are located.
Each port offers the opportunity to debark and explore the port. Excursions can be booked based on your interests at each location. We tend to gravitate towards snorkeling experiences. We have booked catamaran rides and private island getaways for a day of relaxing on a beach too! Crystal clear, turquoise blue, refreshingly soothing, salt water, calmness, tranquility, buoyancy…so many thoughts come to mind when considering snorkeling. Exploring under the surface of the water to find God’s inspiration in all creation! It’s fascinating. Antigua, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Hawaii to name a few, each snorkel destination holds different adventures and underwater microcosm. Make sure to pack your SNORKEL & FINS to ensure a great snorkeling experience. The freedom afforded the underwater explorer provides extensive opportunities to experience nature in many new ways.

“Our love is like the sea — warm, deep, and unstoppable.”
John F Kennedy and I in 2015
The island is also popularly known in Spanish as la isla del encanto, meaning “the island of enchantment”. Columbus named the island San Juan Bautista, in honor of Saint John the Baptist. Eventually, traders and other maritime visitors came to refer to the entire island as “Puerto Rico”, and “San Juan” became the name of the main trading/shipping port.

TRANQUIL COUPLES WALK
“The sea teaches patience, and the storm teaches strength.”
Every relationship requires time and attention to thrive. My husband is my best friend. We require time away from the stress of daily life to reconnect and try to make that a priority. We try to “date” weekly and keep our marriage growing each day. A cruise is a great opportunity to really focus on each other and truly enjoy spending time in each other’s company!
Life can be hectic! We all need “our person” to feel whole. God intended for husband and wives to be two halves that when together make a whole for fulfillment. My husband and I try to nurture that promise that we made together many years ago when we said, “I do!” Vacations provide us the uninterrupted opportunity to focus on each other solely! Carve out that special time with your special person to visit SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO! It is worth it!
