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

The river narrows, the vegetation changes, and soon are floating through a tunnel of mangrove trees, the branches low and heavy, blocking out the sunlight. The tangled roots twist and curve, making knots and bundles, like a hundreds of snakes slithering over one another. Its like nothing Ive ever seen before.
The photos hardly do justice to the drama of this place.
