Dominica in Pictures

Dominica is an island of contrasts. We found this garden home in Portsmouth.

This brightly colored home caught our attention as well!

"Boat boys" are the norm here.   Michael was our vegetable
guy, paddling out each day to see if we needed anything.  We also bought a flag from him.

In Roseau, the capital city, we took a mooring in from Pancho.  We were this close
to shore in over 70 feet of water.  

We headed to downtown Roseau on a Sunday to find just about everything closed.  However, Fort Henry, a restored fort turned hotel/restaurant was open for business and we enjoyed a mid afternoon beverage and snack. 

Jon ripped his favorite swim trunks and wouldn't let me toss them.  We found a sewing place and they gladly stitched them up for 10 EC (about $3 US)

Visited the Roseau Free Library.  The librarian in me had to take a picture of the antique OPAC; yes, it is a card catalogue!

Hand made, cane fishing traps in Scott's Head, at the southern tip of the island

Rented a scooter and drove over mountains, through rain forests and bamboo jungles.

Fishermen gathering to compare their catches.

Rivers meets ocean on the windward side of the island.

Petit waterfall along the coastal road.
