Dominica (doh-min-EEK-a, not doh-MIN-ick-a)

I love Dominica. It's so beautiful, I can't even describe it. When we got there, we walked around the city for a while. There are little trenches on either side of the street where the overflow water (and God knows what else) goes. Literally everything is closed down on Sundays there because I guess the Dominicans are super religious. Anyway, here's a list of some things that I did while in Dominica:
+We went to the botanical garden and accidentally ended up hiking up a mountain (luckily I decided to wear my keds so that I wouldn't get a staph infection while walking around town). We had a great view from the top; we could see the entire side of the island where the ship was docked.
+I went river tubing in the afternoon.
+Even though the island was basically shut down Sunday, since there were over 600 students that wanted to drink, a few bars opened up for us. Drinks here are strong and cheap, just how I like them. I was really chatty at night, and Greg's roommate told me that he didn't know whether to describe us (Greg and I) as brother and sister or an old married couple. This could not be a more accurate way to think of us.
+I climbed down these massive rocks so that I could swim in the ocean. It was fun. My friend has a waterproof camera too, so that got some use.
+My friend and I snuck into a hotel (his idea, not mine) so that we could swim in the sweet pool there with a waterfall, then we got drinks at the very overpriced bar there. The rum punch here is STRONG.

Now I have to start my homework :( but I guess I can't complain too much because I've only had 2 days of classes so far and this is the first time I'll be opening a book
