It was a wonderful, wonderful place full of people who impressed me to pieces by doing their level best in the face of THE CONSTANT EVERYTHING. We stayed in a neighborhood right by the university, walked around a lot in that neighborhood, visited the university's botanical garden, and did a couple of tourist things (visited Old San Juan, biked along a bike path by the coast and through a mangrove forest), and everywhere people were welcoming.

We had some really excellent conversations.
