Streets of Pointe Michel

Sunset on the Caribbean, Pointe Michel

I have ventured out with my camera on  few evening walks since between 5:30 pm and 6:45 the heat is cooling off significantly and there is usually a pleasant breeze. The sunsets around 6:20 pm, and it is dark by 7:00.

This past week, when I remembered to take my camera, I began to photograph some of the streets in my village of Point Michel. Here are some of the pictures I liked of the streets and pathways...


As you can see, this place is hilly...

Note the kitty cat...there are dogs, cats, chickens, an loud roosters in abundance...


Some places there are only alleys or walking pathways




a small part of the cemetery

These are just from one small area of the village--I hope to, of course, post more pics later on so do return here;-) and please comment if you feel inclined ---I love comments!

Settling In on Dominica...



nothing like fresh coconut water at the market!!!
So--I took a break from blogging here--first I was a bit overwhelmed with the move, the climate adjustment, and the PC training everyday all day, then I didn't have good wifi access the first month I was on Dominica Island.

But now training is over, I am have moved into a nice one bedroom apt here on Dominica Island, been sworn in as a bonafide US Peace Corps Volunteer and started volunteering at my "assignment"--the St. Lukes Primary School here in Pointe Michel. I'm just going to post some pictures from our PC Swearing In Ceremony, and some views of one area of Pointe Michel that I took the first month while I was living with my host family. Enjoy!!! much more to come...so do check back!


afterwards! all smiles...

I'm there! behind Rebecca...


just want to be out in that skiff...
cooking outside on the "hotpot"

these ferns remind me of SE Alaska rain forest ferns...
the garden at my host's house...

Please leave comments! I love getting folks comments...thanks!
