Santo Domingo, the capital of the DR is easily reachable by bus from Luperon. 
We headed out with our friends from Jomaro, Jos and Yamele. The bus had many unexpected stops to pick up people - and animals. We finally reached the half way point and the windshield that was seriously cracked when get got on the bus seemed to suddenly be a problem. An hour later we were back on our way on another bus with equally suspect issues.
The Zona Colonial, or old city of Santo Domingo is beautiful. It has a real European feel with many historic sites like this one: the first hospital in the New World.
And
along with the great architecture came the great cigars. Cohibas. I was so inspired by the process of the rolling and pressing and cutting, I bought a couple. Maybe someone who enjoys smoking them will visit the boat one day, but in the meantime they'll be my souvenir of this trip to the Capital.
