Dominica November 2005A 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 Photos taken with Canon Rebel XT 350D |
Emerald Pool
Tired and muddy, we head back to Emerald Pool, hoping that the tourists have left. We arrive to an empty lot and gatehouse. A meandering walk leads down to the pool. We are the only ones there. I am braced for an over-hyped tourist-trap, but the Emerald Pool surprises me. It really is something enchanted. The experience is more than visual. It is also the atmosphere of gentle seclusion, the feeling of quiet mysteries of the land and water, deep and calm.
