Today we spent the day at the port of La Romana, Dominican Republic.
We really didn't find much in the way of excursions, so we decided to go to the new Old Town called Altos de Chavón. Basically, this place is a town that was built in the 1980's to look like an old 16th century village. It is built on an overlook of the Chavón River which is a pretty view. 
They have artisans and a small museum there, but there's really not much to do other than shop. We had a light lunch which was pretty good and then took the tour bus back to the ship. We heard some people went into town and it was kind of dicey so you might want to avoid that.

There were a couple of other water-based excursions to an island and rafting the River. Those might have been better options. Bix went to the DR last year and did dune buggy driving which was really fun, he said. He might have been in a different port. We had some other friends who spent a week there and they went to Saona Island which they enjoyed. There are many golf courses, but I didn't see any golfers. One weird thing we did see is a guy riding a horse on the golf course - like galloping full speed.
