Hi ya'll - So Button and Warren arrived safely on Saturday around 3pm. Colby and I rented a car and drove a scary road (mind you, their steering wheels are on the right and they drive on the right) to the airport, which is on the northeast side of the island. We basically drove straight through the island to the eastern (Atlantic) side. The weather was gloomy and I was terrified! But Colby did great and we made it just fine.

We stopped at a few little places along our way back to Picard and once we got back, we got them settled, bought groceries and just hung out for the night. We went to a restaurant in Portsmouth that was delicious but overpriced with terrible service to boot (typical Dominica).

Sunday we just hung out at the beach near campus since most things are closed on Sundays. The weather was mostly cooperative and we all got a little color. =)

Monday we rented the car again and drove to Bense, and went to a freshwater pool. It was AMAZING. So refreshing, freshwater is totally different than salt water. I jumped off my first rock and had a blast. The Dominican weather rolled in and we bolted out of there because the rain forest gets dumped on and we didn't want to get stuck in the mud in our shitty little SUV.

Today, we kept the car and drove allllllllllll the way to the most southern point of the island to Scott's Head. Its a small strip of land that separates the Atlantic and the Caribbean. After we all snorkeled and took some fab pictures, we drove back up to Roseau to show Button and Warren what the capital was like. We grabbed some lunch and some groceries and the boys took a shot of rum with a dead grasshopper in it - EWW! It was a good trip. I didn't feel well tonight so we are all taking a relaxing night off, being lazy and hanging with our respective lover. hahaha.

Tomorrow, I don't know what we have in store. I am guessing beaching maybe a bit north of us at Toucari Bay.

More to come soon.

Oh, and PS. I got 4 A's and a B this semester, we got our grades today! WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
