May 14, 2008 2:00pm It’s been a couple of days since I’ve written. It’s currently Wednesday and I have completed my third day of medical school. Things are going alright so far… let’s see if I can remember my classes: Gross Anatomy, Histology, Biochemistry, Doctor Patient Society, Physiology… I think that’s it but I can’t remember. Today’s classes were awful - we had biochemistry where the professor thought it was a good idea for us to teach each other without any lecture, which really just annoyed everyone. Then we had two anatomy l [View Full Entry]

Hi, Everybody!! I FINALLY got my barrels, which means that I finally got the stuff to upload my photos!!! WWWOOOO!!!! Dominica is getting better by the day. I think I have found some people who I will be able to study and hang out with, with is extremely relieving. Most of the people here a very nice. I live on Moo Cow Trail. How awesome is that!?! So basically, there are random cows on the side of the road, either tide to a tree or roaming freely. I have come back at night to walk right next to a cow on [View Full Entry]

Sunday, May 4th 1045am Well, I have made it safe and sound to San Juan, Puerto Rico. I left Boston a little after 0630 and touched down in San Juan right around 1010 local and EST time. The flight was good and the landing was one of the best I have ever experienced - lack of kissing the seat in front of you while the plane is braking and fearing the gear is going to break off from the intense jarring of plane to ground makes you thankful for a landing you hardly feel. Puerto Rico seemed nice coming in - [View Full Entry]

After spending the past eight years working in a highly stressful and demanding job. My husband and I decided to make the move to live in the Caribbean Island of Dominica. My Husband is from Europe, But I was born in Dominica and spent the first 11 years of my life there, but now in my late 40’s…It was definitely time to return, as I’m of an age now, to fully appreciate the Beauty and tranquillity of the Island, proving true the old Caribbean adage that “Cow never miss its tail, until the Butcher cuts it off! ” Sometimes you have [View Full Entry]

We had a nice quiet day for a change. We went into town early after visiting Sol y Mar and Meggie. Unfortunately, we came back with almost nothing. Box of cereal, Nido (milk), guava cookies, that was it. We have been out of eggs for weeks and other things. In Martinique, eggs were 1.95 Euro for 6 eggs. We found out some more details on Dominica: it has 7 areas that are likely for volcanoes. They are of course monitored. The island is very poor. lot's of shacks, like Grenada. Locals bring their jugs to watering areas, for drinking water. The [View Full Entry]

Working day!
Central America Caribbean » Dominica » Portsmouth
Yesterday was a working day for us. Raymond never showed, boat boy. Oh well, it is the islands...We took a ride to Cabrit National Park, where the small cruise liners can dock. We had heard they would sell diesel to us, duty free. We saw 2 sailboats there in the am. So off we went...Walked right in to terminal, nobody stopped us, found security guy yakking away outside with another employee. We asked about the diesel, after he jumped up 3 feet from the ground. He called this lady, she in turn called someone else...After an hour of waiting, we finally [View Full Entry]

We just came off the Indian River Tour. Our guide was Raymond. This is where Pirates of the Caribbean was film!!! It was an exhilarating trip, Raymond picked us up around 0900, returning back around 1130. There are 365 rivers in Dominica, the Indian River being the deepest, getting it's name after the Caribs Indians. Who by the way do basket weaving from Coconut palms, not like the Bahamas, also from wild sugar leaves. They also use the Roseau, which is wild sugar cane, and it is not eatable and it is not sweet, mainly used for roofs, the leaves on [View Full Entry]
