Santo Domingo




Christopher Columbus Home. He did not lived here much of his time because he was traveling. His son Diego lived here. I can only imagine how much fun he had in this huge home that today is a museum.
















El Panteon Nacional



















During my trip, I visitted la Zona Colonial where I took a walking tour of various historic places in Santo Domingo.




This is Independencia, where that statues of Juan Pablo Duarte, Sanchez y Mella. Los padres de la patria Dominicana.










El Punto Cero


















El Punto Cero. It is Point Zero in the Santo Domingo D.R. all distance are meassure from this point. It is the begining of the island. It is located inside of La puerta de el Conde, Independencia.










Calle las Damas is the first street in Santo Domingo, D.R., this is what the tour guide told me. I hope he is right, lolol

Baby Deer in Pinebush, N.Y.


As I was walking in the forest with my family I spotted something brown. My first reaction was to get ready to run off, but curiosity was stronger than fear, and little by little I go close to it. What I really discovered was this beautiful baby Deer. It was so much of a baby, that when it saw me, it didn't even run. The baby deer stood there quietly and I was able to pet it and hold it. I was so full of emotions and happy that I wanted to take it home. "Are you crazy? You can get arrested!" that's what my husband said. I pet the deer and took pictures, then after a while the deer wanted to be free. So I had to let it free, and it went into the woods.
This is the Deer going into the woods:
