Friday Photo - A Table by the Sea

Photo by Patrick L Jones - 31 May 2004

This photo was taken from a table overlooking the ocean, in Condado, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The restaurant is Hacienda Don Jose. The food was ok, but what I remember was the view and the vibe.

We ate at this same restaurant 5 years earlier, on our honeymoon in June 1999. They were playing Maná's MTV Unplugged album, which stuck in my head so much that I bought it when we returned from the trip (and it's still a great album).

This is one of those shots that makes me think, and takes me back to the place and time. A table by the sea, the occasional salt spray from the waves crashing on the rocks, sangria and music in the background.
