Im so sorry that I havent been posting but I have been terribly sea sick. It has sucked because I have to catch up for my classes now! Well, as for Dominica we left on Monday. The first day we were there I went on a trip up to the north part of the island. In the car on the way we passed a beach where they shot Pirates of the Carribean 2. If you watch that movie, a majority of it was filmed on Dominica. The indians in the film were Carib Indians and were filmed at actual histoical locations. It was really cool. I took this picture on the side of the boat. I thought it was spectacular.
We went for a hike in the rainforest which was awesome. I made a bunch of friends. This is from being on the hike. We ate fruit straight off the plants. I enjoyed the best banana and grapefruit of my life. It was a phenomenal experience. The people in Dominica are really friendly and helpful. Though their reason for acting so is obvious. They want the tourist dollar and will be as kind, and helpful as they need to be to win the american soul. The following picture is from the hike:
My time in Dominica was only two days but it was pretty enjoyable. It is completely boring compared to the things to come.
Right now, for instance, we are sailing our huge cruise ship up the amazon. I cannot describe to you what it feels like to talk about the amazon in my ecology class and then look out the window and see it with my own eyes. Its even wierder to be peering out at the amazon in the dark (its 10:00pm here) while i am writing this. I cannot wrap my head around where I am.
I miss you all so much and I really love getting emails so PLEASE EMAIL ME at gefuller@semesteratsea.net
