Santo Domingo



We traveled 6+ hours across the Dominican Republic to the capitol in an overloaded taxi, intending on catching a bus for another 8+ hour ride to the Haitian capitol of Port-au-Prince, only to find that the buses had been canceled for the day due to local government elections in Haiti. After finding a hotel, we dropped off our immense amounts of luggage and headed out to spend the evening wandering around the city.

A few snapshots from our stroll around Santo Domingo, including Catedral del Santa Maria la Menor- the oldest cathedral in the Western Hemisphere, and rumored to be the final resting place of Christopher Columbus; our commision of a street artist; the Domincan Republic Capitol Palace; and the Domincan Republic LDS Temple.
