    Finally got my Lamy Safari Dark Lilac with a bottle of ink.

    The pen worked beautifully from the start. I haven't used a Lamy Safari in ages and had forgotten what a smooth writer it is. The beveled section is like a friendly reminder to hold the pen with an appropriate tripod grip.

    The ink looks nice. Too bad is has no water resistance.

    Hey Carlos, can you buy fountain pens on the island, or do you have to get them sent in?

    There are a few places where you can still buy fountain pens and ink on the island, mainly in Plaza Las Americas (Pen Shoppe, Campo Marzio and a store that mainly sells watches but also Montblanc pens). However the best place is a store in the Hato Rey area called Art-Tek which sells art and drafting supplies. The very friendly owner has set up a showroom where he sells Lamy, Pilot, Waterman, Sheaffer, Cross and others.

    I almost forgot: there is a Montblanc boutique in the tourist sector.
