quick hi from Dominica

---

a quick note on Dominica--no, it's not the same as the Domincan Republic !

Very rugged island, no sandy beaches but plenty of spectacular rain forest for hiking.

We were on our own with no guide, which proved to be a bit tricky as there are so few tourists they really don't have things marked--

Locals were not very outgoing, but I think it was OK. They are not used to mingling with white folks.
