Today, Homer, Brian, Jeremy and I went on the caves and mangroves tour in Samana, Dominican Republic. It was really amazing---with some of the pictographs in the caves dating back to the pre-Columbian era. There was much speculation among our party about exactly where and when Columbus first landed. It seems he was all over the Caribbean…everywhere we go on our exotic cruise, they are claiming Columbus as the one who came in, and killed the indigenous peoples within 50 years. What the h, Columbus?

Here’s a picture of new music director, seeking some knowledge from our tour guide about the local culture and history of DR. He also asked about a lot of the Dominican baseball players, too.
