Hi there!  We are once again on a sea day, so I have some time to send a few pictures. 

We spent yesterday at Santo Domingo, which boasts the landing of Christopher Columbus.  This is the first time Crystal has stopped there, so we were the guinea pigs for the excursions.  Ours was a catamaran ride to a beautiful island beach.  What wasn't so great about it was the 2 hours we spent getting there and the same returning in a bus!  As a courtesy, Crystal reimbursed each participant 25% of the cost of the excursion, which was nice.  Hope our other excursions go a little better. Tomorrow we arrive at Santa Marta.

Meanwhile, here are a few pics from the last couple days.  

Cheers!

Having a great time!
