An oddity


I did a double take when I first saw how this local landmark was identified. "Museo del Jamon" is Spanish for "Museum of Ham." Now, I suppose I like ham at least as much as the next person but, really -- a whole museum dedicated to a pork product??? Odd.
The above is located in the Plaza de EspaƱa in Santo Domingo, but when I was there on Sunday morning after church, it was closed. Which I guess makes sense. After all, Sunday morning -- the average person does not think "Shall I go to Church or to brunch? Or maybe I should play golf. I know!!! I'll go to the Museum of Ham."
