San Juan - correction


Upon returning home I showed my mother the photos (as below).  I had identified the site of our home as La Princesa because she said she could watch the ships come in from the sea into the bay from the balcony. But showing her the photos and a google satellite map, she said that was not the place. In fact, we lived in a small apartment building across from the hospital. It was not the regular officers housing but for the doctors.  It would have been behind the PX in the 1962 photo below. In the photo above, it would have been on the green, inside the wall, to the left of the hospital and above the cemetery. The balcony faced the ocean, giving views of the sea and El Morro.
