The Dominican Republic has incredible history, especially dating to the time of early colonization of Christopher Columbus. Santo Domingo was the first colony set up by the Spanish, and claims some of the oldest buildings in the "New World," including gorgeous Catholic cathedrals and forts up to more than 500 years old! Last weekend decided to hop in a "public car" down the road to the "Colonial Zone," a popular tourist area. We breezed through and found some fun souvenirs, peeked in the museum/ cathedral, and met some cool people.
