Trip to Puerto Plata.
We had a decent trip to Puerto Plata yesterday in spite of the rain. Our first stop was the Brugal Rum factory where they do not allow pictures…something about national security. Then on to an amber museum which turned out to be a tour through a gift shop and not really the official amber museum. Still pretty nice. Then on to the city center where we ate a questionable meal, moved down to an ice cream shop and had an excellent “postre” (dessert). Then we just walked around the city center dodging everyone with their hand out, walked through a church and several shops. On the way home we stopped at a small roadside cheese store and bought some awesome cheese. Dinner back on the boat was cheese fried in olive oil and garlic with sliced fresh tomato and bread! Oh, and Presidente and wine also! Mmmmm.
