It's a street with pastel col- ored storefronts, overhanging balconies, tourists and natives strolling in the sunshine, an On a recent trip to San Juan, almost as soon as I arrived, I took a quick bus ride from my hotel, the Caribe Hilton, to Old San Juan. To get reacquainted with its charms, I first climbed aboard the open air tram that winds its way on a circular route through Old San Juan.

WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE American Heart Association open-air tram riding by, and even some colorful dresses dis- played outside a nearby store. Tourists, painters, shoppers, strollers — Old San Juan draws them all. With its Spanish colo- nial architecture and cobble- stone streets, its historic sites and colorful shopping streets, this compact area is a world of its own, with an ambiance that feels more like a Spanish village than an area within a Caribbean city. Designated a National His- toric Zone by the U.S. govern- ment, this 400-year-old city within a city offers many at- tractions to visitors, whether it's a first time visit or, as in my case, a return trip to an almost familiar but still fascinating place. With its polished wood seats and gleaming brass fixtures, the tram offers a comfortable way to enjoy the local color — espe- cially during the heat of the day — and it's also a sightseeing bargain: The service is provid- ed free to all passengers. Comfortably seated in the tram, we rode up and down the narrow cobblestoned streets, getting good views of the varied shops with their eye-catching window displays and Spanish colonial facades. Climbing higher, we also caught a glimpse of the sea as we rounded one corner: The old city is situated on the peninsu- la that separates San. Juan Bay from the Atlantic Ocean, so there are views of water from many vantage points.
