My youtube page also has a lot more video's if your interested in checking them out.

Rainbow and Roseau

Yesterday I went shopping with some other girls in Roseau. We stopped to have lunch at the Cornerhouse Cafe before heading home. I took a few pics while I was there. Then on the way to taking Alex to school today we saw a beautiful rainbow after the rain stopped. We see rainbows all the time in Dominica and it is always so beautiful. So I had to take a few pics of Alex with her new umbrella and the rainbow. Click below for pics:

Roseau and Rainbows

Here are a couple of Alex's art projects. The second one is for Grandpa for father's day. She made a bunch of kites. She put stickers on the paper and then lines below it. She loves doing art projects. Since she does so many I'm starting to take pictures of them so she can see them when she gets older. Maybe I can make a book with all these pictures I'm taking.

Yesterday we moved into our new place. I still have more things to bring over from the old place but I have a few more days to do that. We like it but it is quite a bit smaller. We used the air conditioner for the first time yesterday. It was sooo sooo nice. We went through about 25 units of energy yesterday when we normally use up 8-10 units. So I have a feeling the a/c won't be used that often.

Mero Beach

This past Wednesday I went to Mero Beach with some friends. Mero is a small town on the way to Roseau. It's about a half hour from where we live in Picard. Here are a few pictures I took and I also have a few more on my facebook page.

We parked at a womans house that lives on the beach and relaxed by her pools while some of us (including me) got massages. Then we had lunch at Connie's Beach Bar before heading out to snorkel. At Connie's Beach Bar I had the red snapper and a local juice (grapefruit) which came out to 15ec. It's interesting how things get less expensive when you leave the campus area.

Today (friday) we moved quite a bit of stuff to our new place. We hope to start staying there this weekend. I still havent' taken any pictures of it yet. Hopefully I will tomorrow or on Sunday.

St John's Catholic Church in Portsmouth

I took a walk with a friend, Kristen, today. We walked from Picard, to Glanvillia (where I will be moving), then to Portsmouth. We walked to St John's Catholic Church before we started to head back and catch a transport back to Picard.

St John's Catholic Church was destroyed by an earthquake in 2004 and has yet to be rebuilt. They are currently raising funds to rebuild the church. Here is a website to learn more about this church:

The first picture you can see what looks to be what is left of the bell tower. Also this is what they are using in the meantime to hold services. The wall does not go up to the roof. They are saving money so they can rebuild their church.

The second pictures is what is left of the church, the altar.

I have many pictures I took on our walk. Click on the link below to see the pics:

A walk to Portsmouth, Dominica

A beautiful day in Dominica

Today I went on a trip with the Ross Faculty Spouses group. We went to one of the faculty members house to spend the day and grill out. This place is so beautiful. The inside of the house was a dream compared to what I'm used to. I sure wouldn't mind living here and waking up to a view like this!

Cheez-its

Keith and his cheez-its. He loves these things like you wouldn't believe!!
