Snorkeling!


We went snorkeling in Champagne Bay! This is a famed spot for snorkeling because of the small bubbles that raise in columns from the rocks below. Dominica is a volcanic island, so there is lots of geothermal activity. The heat rises from the rocks and creates bubbles in the reef. It feels a bit like swimming in a lava lamp! The ocean is so salty that when I got out, my mouth felt like I had eaten the whole of Silvercity's popcorn supply!
You'll notice I took my braids out! That was a sad day, and I still miss them! I have to say it was a good call to take them out when I did though because my hair was starting to form locks at the roots! Mom, Dad, do I have a recessive Rasta gene?

  2. August 12th. HUGE pout! I miss some comforts of home, but honestly, I'd stay put as long as I could. I'm coming back in a heartbeat. I'll try to update soon, but things have been busy! Hope you're well Tris. I was just reminiscing to a friend about our Montreal St house and my gnome room!!
