GREEN STREET so one of the oldest cultures in the hemisphere and, with its Spanish and African her­ itages, is one of the most fascinating. Often called the "action spot" of the Caribbean, San Juan is one of the few resorts that offer supper clubs where one can spend an entire eve­ ning dancing and enjoying international entertainment like Robert Goulet, Sandler and Young, and Blood, Sweat, and Tears, followed by a try at "lady luck" in one of several casinos. A cosmopolitan city, SariN^* Juan offers a variety of din­ ing experiences, ranging j from a Spanish "paella,r a French steak "au poi\ to Puerto Rican "pasteles" (meat pies) and home grown tropical fruits. No expense was spared in building-some of the Carib­ bean's finest hotels providing accommodations available at a choice of price. Ocean vie^rs For example, the Caribe Hilton offers everything from duplex suites with a private solarium to double rooms with ocean views each one decorated with elegance and fine taste. Or. for those on a budget, comfortable accommoda­ tions on a wide stretch of white sand oeach can be had for more moderate rates at the Condado Beach-La Concha hotels. Money saved on accom­ modations can be enjoyed taking golf or tennis lessons. One of the best tennis pros in the world, Welby Van Horn, is in residence at the Caribe Hilton. With the sunshine year round, all outdoor sports can be enjoyed any time of year: scuba, sailing, water skiing, and horseback riding. Memorable ramblings If living high to you means buying original artwork, paintings and carvings can still be found at reasonable prices, ^waiting to be discov­ ered in the small galleries in­ habiting Old San Juan's his­ toric 16th century streets. Even if one doesn't find anything, the ramblings make for a memorable day spent with stops at El Morro fort and the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture's museum. * Street guides to Puerto Rico and Old San Juan are available free on request by writing to the Hilton Inter­ national Fulfillment Depart­ ment, 2050 Bellmore Ave­ nue, Bellmore, New York 11710. FACTS ! FIGURES i Americans spenc about $3.6 billion a year on paint to maintain and repair their homes, according to the U. S. Bureau of the Census. The largest painting now in existence is probably "The Battle of Gettysburg," com­ pleted in 1883 after 2 1/2 years work by Paul Philip- poteaux (France) and 16 as­ sistants. The painting is 410 feet long, 70 feet high and weighs 11,792 lbs. * * * 1 More and more Americans are finding that spray paint­ ing is also easier. There are no brushes to wash, no brush marks to deal with--so you get a smoother finish.
