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

Plantation Mill Ruins
On the way back to Calabishie, we stop to investigate some old ruins that we've passed on the road many times. The buildings are decreipt and slightly creepy. Looking through the iron barred windows, you can see the rusted machinery still inside, as if the whole complex was just abandoned. We're not sure if the thick iron bars were to keep thieves or, to keep the slaves in.
