Wednesday we went into Santo Domingo. We had a great time. Matt especially had a great time trying to navigate through traffic. Not just normal busy abnoxious traffic, but pull into your vehicle, cut you off traffic. They sure think that they can fit anywhere that they want, oh, and look out for all of the mopeds. They are just wild. Anyway, we saw part of a fort built on the hill overlooking the Ozama River, which was built in 1502, we even saw some of the original cannons. There is a nice plaza dedicated to Christopher Columbus, right next to the "first" Cathedral in the New World. We also saw the Hacienda of Diego Colon (Son of Christopher Columbus) and his wife Mary, which was built in the early 1500's. It was pretty cool. We lucked out when we took the tour of the hacienda, becasue it sure downpoured while we were in side, but otherwise, we remained relatively dry. We had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe across from the Statue of Christopher Columbus, and then went SHOPPING!!!!!! We had a lot of fun; and we spent a little money. Then we drove out west a little bit, through the hairraising traffic, and found the Dominican Republic Temple. It sure was beautiful. Anyway, then we headed back home to Juan Dolio, but made several circles trying to get on the road that we wanted, "you can't get there from here". Eventually we made it back home. We were all tired after a long, but very fun day.
