Spanish Sailing Ship built in 1927

   A couple of weeks ago we had a Saturday to enjoy the colonial zone--which dates back to early 1500s during the first Spanish days here.  First, however, we toured a visiting Spanish sailing ship.  Parts of it were quite elegant--woodwork, etc.  One of the officers took us around and then we were able to see a few additional things.  Here are a few pictures:
   

     Scouts, check out these knots!  Important for sailors too!

Here we have an authentic Spanish omelet on an authentic Spanish ship!

It was breakfast for some of the crew and we peeked into the kitchen!

Next on the agenda--walking up and up and up the stairs to the colonial zone.

  Our friends, the Mortensons, were with us.  He was one of the first 10 missionaries into the Dominican Republic in 1978 and now they are back as a couple in the office.
