Dinner in MDR. I was happy with both the pasta and ribs.  Lost half of what I won over the previous two days and shut down the casino,  then had yummy pizza.

Today is Dominica, first thing I learned is I've been mispronouncing it. Not like Dominican Republic. I have a city tour,  visit the rain forest and the botanical gardens.

Many people without washers and dryers wash their clothes in the Roseau River. 

[IntrepidFromDC]

The rainforest was fantastic with huge waterfalls, a light,  cool mist from time to time and tropical  foliage, some with 10-foot long leaves.

These loaves are 9 to 10 feet long

Beautiful ports, great pics! Hope I get a chance to visit them someday.

I think I forgot to post today's Fun Times. I try to post it first post of the day.

Excursion with Tiffany (pictured next to our van) was GREAT.  She was funny,  knowledgable, talkative and constantly checked that the 4of us were happy with the AC.  Next time in Dominica I would book this company without even checking competition.

Back to the excursion,  after the rainforest and a couple villages and roadside stops we visited The Botanical Gardens and Morne Bruce Vista with great views of Carnival Venezia.

US donated a schoolbus filled with books to serve as a roving library for the Dominican kids. Unfortunately a tree fell on it and squashed it. 

[IntrepidFromDC]

Tiffany's homemade rum punch is strong and delicious!

The excursion ended and Tiffany dropped us off where she picked us up,  at the end of the pier. I walked downtown Roseau for an hour before heading back to the ship to shower and get ready for dinner and casino.

Dinner MDR, chicken soup was very good,  turkey with dressing and gravy was satisfying but far from great.
