This was our last full day in the DR and after a week of hard work, we did a little sight seeing in Santo Domingo. We started in Columbus Park at the grave (much disputed) of Crisobol Colon (aka Christopher Columbus). We then did some Christmas shopping I guess to go along with Black Friday in the US.
After shopping the Mota's invited us over for a late lunch at their home in the capital. It was a nice way to finish our trip, eating delicious Dominican cuisine and getting a tour of Manny's many trophies, plaques and photos with famous baseball greats as well as a few US Presidents. He signed some baseball for all the kids at the end of our meal and we then headed back to the hotel. So, much less eventful than all my previous posts, but a nice end to a great week. We're going to gather on the beach one more time tonight at 9pm to debrief the week and all we've learned before packing and getting ready for our departure tomorrow.
See you in the USA tomorrow night. Look forward to having all the students share their stories in person!
