Roseau Dominica

We spent the last couple of days in Roseau and had a great time.  We hired a guide named Sea Cat to take us and the 5 other people from the three boats we are hanging out with on an island tour.  The island is much different than the the other islands we've visited because it is mainly volcanic.  There aren't any sandy beaches that we could find but mainly black pebbly beaches.  But the island is really lush and green full of trees and bushes.  Sea Cat showed us a bunch of different trees and bushes which we got to sample most of it-almond, cashew, star fruit, tamarind, cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg and a bunch others that I can’t remember.  We swam through a cave and came out at a small waterfall. Then headed to Trafalgar falls, which was awesome.  Then we spent time in the hot pools that are right below the falls and are really warm from the volcano.  It was a great way to see the island.  

Today we are heading to Martinique, another French Island so I am looking forward to the wonderful breads, cheeses and wine again.

This tree fell on a school bus during Hurricane David in 1979.  The left the tree because it was still alive and growing.  Thank goodness there wasn't anyone on the bus at the time.
