Oldest City of the New World.
The peer location is perfect: right next to the Colonial Zone, the historical part of town. We walk right into town. Lots of car traffic, quite a bit of haggling: people walking along and trying to make us choose them as guide?! Stray dogs. Old city defenses, canons, walls.
Cigar, amber and other jewelry shops are the main shopping attractions. Bianca buys a Larimar gemstone – a light-blue stone only found here in the Dominican Republic.
Visit two small museums that are near the peer and visible from the ship. One was the seat of the first governor. The other was Villa or Casa Real? 
Learn about Columbus’s four voyages.
Bianca buys a sugar cane. She never had something like this before, neither did we.
