Today we explored on our own. We shopped in Roseau, the capital city, and we went hunting for the two geocaches on the island. (There’s a link in the sidebar on the right to geocaching if you don’t know what that is.) When we found …

Each day, we think we’ve hit the pinnacle of vacation. And each day, we see something new and different. The whole experience hiking to Boiling Lake was great! I haven’t had a good climb like that since before Talli was born. Beautiful (yet different) rain …

Good exercise today, time to read, beautiful, happy, and great food. The day flew by. Last night was the first night I didn’t sleep like a log. I was awake for quite awhile, but that was ok. Prayed some and just rested. I think my …

Elaine and I ran out of words. There aren’t enough words to describe how great our experience was in Dominica. Beautiful, fun, restful, special, relaxing and awesome are just scratching the surface. I’ve tried to think some about how to blog about it, and I’ve …
