Apr 9, Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic

First,  I'd like to apologize for not using bcc on the last post. I promise not to do that again.

We spent Wednesday in transit making our way from Sacramento to LA to Miami and finally on to the Dominican Republic.

Thursday, today we managed to get up in time for a nice breakfast, even with the 3hour time difference. 
Since it is quite warm and sunny here we decided to walk to a nearby  museum to stay out of the strongest mid-day sun. Passed several bustling parks and the large Cathedral before entering the Museo de Las Casas Reales.  I feel well informed as to the history of the DR as well as the surrounding islands. Amazing ship models and weapon collection in a great historic building.

Naps and swim and sun was the order of business for the afternoon and then we went exploring for dinner along the busier walking Street.. complete with stalls,  street food,  beggars and touristy shops.

 Rounded out the lovely evening with an ice cream and a few games (Splendor and DC's Batman vs Joker).
