Home Movie: Sightseeing 1920s Puerto Rico & The Virgin Islands

Continuation of the 1926 silent home movie film from aboard the S.S. Reliance, where they go to visit Puerto Rico and St. Thomas of the Virgin Islands.

At 2:10 they are in a port of San Juan, Puerto Rico, outside what is the original Jose V. Toledo Federal Building and Courthouse/Post Office. At around 2:43, the view from the coast looks like the Charlotte Amelie bay at St. Thomas, however at 3:24 you can see Rio Piedras (district by San Juan) on a bus - so not sure what exactly their itinerary could have been. Let me know if you know better or recognize any specific places!
