El Morro - Ancient Fortress at San Juan, Puerto Rico
If "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," the same must be true of senior missionaries. Elder Dean & Sister Myrtle Hadlock, North Ogden, UT, and Sister Marilyn & Elder Leon Button, Mesa, AZ, appreciated an opportunity to visit beautiful Old El Morro, an ancient fortress that had its beginning in 1539. 
Heavy cannons were once-upon-a-time rolled up this ramp where the Hadlocks stand in their semi-informal missionary attire.
The beautiful blue-green water of the Caribbean Sea can be seen from high atop the stone walls of "Fort San Filipe del Morro."
On the small island in the distance was once built another fortress from which cannons could be fired to catch the enemy in a crossfire. 
A group of oldies but goodies . . . . with a young mission president and his wife.
One really must sense for themself to fully appreciate the sights, sounds and smells!
Old light-house built in 1843 was rebuilt in 1908 by the US Navy.
After many hours of training, a visit to El Morro, and a delicious Puerto Rican dinner, Friday ended with a night street meeting. Then it was time to hurry off to prepare for another long day and jump into bed. Only thing more blurry than this picture are the missionaries' eyes!
