Puerta Plata City

After coming down from the mountain (sounds like Moses) we toured more of the city.  This country loves baseball and this city has a lot of baseball fields.  In fact, they are building a baseball school that is funded by several of the ball players who have come to America and made a lot of money playing ball here.

We saw a place where they made Larimar jewelry.  And, of course, were given the opportunity to buy some jewelry right from the factory.

We also went to aa Amber museum.  We saw how this is actually wax from a tree that is now distinct because it was destroyed by volcanoes.  They can still find the wax in some places however and they make jewelry from it because it has hardened over hundreds of years.  Many of the pieces will have insects and leaves, etc, inside of them.

We then went to the town square with all of it's color and history.

Of course we were given the opportunity to buy many things here also.

 There was also a beautiful Catholic cathedral on the square.
