Friday morning while Dean was paying bills at the Cambio, I stepped outside to talk with one of the locals who was hoping to find tourists interested in going with him to "the waterfall or some place else with something nice to see." Learned from him the "Dive Dominica" boat was taking cruise-ship patrons to see the whales, about 5 to 10 miles from port. Also that during the off-season, now through September, this cruise line docks every other Friday, another line every Tuesday. Anyone interested in cruising the Eastern Caribbean soon?
Watching fisherman bring in their catch seems always to disrupt our early-morning walks. No matter how determined we are not to be distracted, we simply cannot resist!
If ya' want a job done right, give it to a woman! Right? Couldn't keep ourselves from snapping a picture or two as we were out shopping for a few more fine-quality Chinese household items Friday morning.


Rainbow seemed to drop right into the sea as we were returning home from Portsmouth late Thursday afternoon. It was brilliant--almost breathtaking as we came around the corner. Picture doesn't even come close to actuality!
We always pay attention to signs as we're driving. Thought this one was simply Dominicans' attempt at a little humor.
Found out otherwise!
Sometimes we have to "suck it in" when passing on-coming traffic and parked cars. This place was tight . . . but not nearly as tight others. Just happened this time the camera was handy.


Lucky "stiffs" buried in this cemetery have a great view of the Caribbean Sea through flowering "Flamboyaunt" trees. They are Poinsianna to Jamaicans!
