It has been a very interesting last couple of days. Yesterday I took the taxi over to Roseau. And what I mean by a taxi is a van with twelve people crammed together. It takes about an hour and fifteen minutes for the trip. I have posted a picture on the ...

Nov 25, 2005

Where the heck did that name come from?   To say that driving in Dominica is harrowing is an understatement. All of the roads are as narrow as a bowling alley and as bumpy the surface of the moon. Just off the edges of the roads, you either have a ...
