Dominica November 2005
A week-long trip to the mountainous Carribean island of Dominica
(pronounced "Dom-in-EEK-a"). Primary rainforest covers over two thirds
of the island, making it arguably the most untouched island in the
Caribbean. This is not your typical tourist's Caribbean. The best beach
is accesible only by rappeling down the side of a cliff, and the loudest
nightlife hotspot is 15 feet in the air, in a treehouse surrounded by
the cacophony of jungle sounds.
Dates of travel: Nov 18, 2005 to Nov 26, 2005
Duration of travel: 8 days

3 Rivers Eco Lodge
We arrive at
3 Rivers Eco Lodge around mid-afternoon, a grouping of cottages in a valley nestled deep in the mountains. From a brief tour it is evident that there is a clear vision and driving purpose behind these grounds: sustainable ecologically-sensitive living. Solar power provides electricity and hot water, the truck runs on used vegetable oil(biodiesel), the gardens are organic, and waste material is kept to a minimum – mostly composted or recycled.
