Our trip to Punta Cana seems like a dream now – and far away. It was indeed the experience of a lifetime and I wonder if I made the most of the opportunity – as I will not likely get back that way again. I have to thank my wonderful companion Rose without whom I would never have had this experience
Columbus House / Plaza de Espana
I was unable to find much information on Diego Columbus. I was curious to see if he had carried on with the tyrannical behavior of his father.
Diego Columbus was the eldest son of Christopher Columbus. He was a Portuguese navigator and explorer under the Kings of Castile and Aragón. He served as the 2nd Admiral of the Indies, 2nd Viceroy of the Indies and 3rd Governor of the Indies as a vassal to the Kings of Castile and Aragón.
Columbus House was the house of the Columbus family in Santo Domingo. It was built by Diego Coulmbus in 1515. Today, it’s a museum furnished with original and period furniture.

Great slide show in any case, and they are at least organized.
Thanks. It’s not easy keeping things in order because I’m using 2 sets of photos – Rose’s and mine. Sometimes can’t remember what went where ??
Really interesting.Thanks for bringing us along.
You know Don … we really shouldn’t have taken over a thousand pics!! I used to have a Minolta X700 with film. No way I would have taken that many shots because film and film developing cost a fortune. But these new digital cameras … amazing.
Anyway … a couple more posts and I’m done.
What a trip !!!
