The next part of my adventure.
Sep 12, 2008 (16 photos)

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 ...

History of the name Slippery Coconuts
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 ...

Travel day home
May 16, 2009

Well, yesterday was an annoying day. LIAT doesn't tell you that they are making 2-3 stops, so what was a 1.5 hour flight became a  5 hour flight.  ON the plane, I learned that my new beautiful silver bracelet, which cost me $180 EC, or $60 US, ...

The Landing
