Dominica Day 1

Wow! Today was packed full of activities and exciting experiences! After we got up and had breakfast we packed up for a full day. We first headed to Emerald Pool, which was breathtaking and I was able to jump in for a quick swim. The water was absolutely wonderful! Then lots of driving through the country and many wonderful sights to see. We stopped at a small shop right in front of a family's house where they sold hand-made crafts and they gave us fresh coconuts! It was great to talk to some of the locals and see part of their daily lives. Our next stop was the airport where we joyfully picked up Katie and met a Trinity alumnus, who is a med student at Ross, the medical school here! Small world! And of course we took a picture!
