Hadlock's Culture Frocks & Goodbye to Kristy, Taylor and Tyler Cook

Tyler and Taylor Cook came to Roseau with their mother to have their teeth cleaned and one last visit to the Old Market for a souvenir and a Ritual's chiller. Having left home at 6:00 a.m. without breakfast in order to catch a transport, they were grateful for a bite to eat.

The strange-looking dead tree roots still clinging to a stone wall . .

. . . and an old mill wheel make interesting backdrops for pictures taken on the Ross University campus in Portsmouth, Dominica.

Kristy, Taylor and Tyler will reluctantly leave President Cook to his studies and return to Idaho to live with President Cook's parents Tuesday 26 October 2010.

Pre-Independence Day Activities

Dominica Independence Day is actually October 29th but Dominicans love to celebrate! Friday, Oct. 22, students gathered in the "stadium" in Roseau to sit in the hot sun and listen to long, boring speeches by government and education officials who loudly and proudly patted themselves on the back for the great job they're doing to educate the "future of Dominica!" Can you see the "winding roads of Dominica" being formed by this "precision marching group"???? Neither could we! Nor could we see the "mountain peaks" or the letters "D and A"!

This group of Portsmouth students performed a cultural dance . . .

. . . and these gymnast-students proudly displayed a large Dominican flag.
