Spent an afternoon touring the Columbus Lighthouse on Sunday with an 11-year old and a 13-year old and two 70+ grandmothers. Everyone enjoyed it. Hadn't been there since I interviewed the architect who built it. My impression is that it may be the best of museums in the DR today. Takes about two hours to see the whole museum that is three floors on each side. Something like walking at least two kilometers. Best time of the year to go is now -- in the winter/spring time. Cost is RD$30 for adults, and RD$5 for children. Probably there is a higher fee for foreign visitors, but this place is well worth a visit.
Actually, we ended up there because we had to wait for the 2 pm opening of the Logos II bookstore on a ship. Not many bargains to be found there, but worth a trip for browsing.
