Downtown Santo Domingo
Out of Cathedral – to the streets.

The maestro of pigeons appears.
Heading off plaza …
Inscription reads:
“Homage of the First Council of America the Adelantado Don Bartholomew founder on the east bank of the Ozama River from the town of Santo Domingo Colon on 5 August 1498 before being transferred to this part by the governor of the island of Hispaniola Fray Nicolas Ovando in 1502 “.
These guys really celebrated themselves.

Nice pics! Looks like a pretty spot full of history. I’d like to visit someday.
Very interesting place – that I never thought I’d ever be – and will not likely get to again.
You’re missing wildfires at home and cold rain here. You are definitely in a much better place.
Those wildfires are out of control. Burning freely. If Mother Nature don’t stop it – nothing will.
