Carib Culture
>> Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Today we
had a 0600 wake-up for a trip to see and experience Carib culture in Dominica.
So far, it’s been my favorite port. Dominica has a nice city, a cool fruit
market and the infamous boiling lake hike. We went ashore and climbed into our
vans, which took us to numerous places. The first stop was a grapefruit farm.
We loaded up on some fruit for the ship, and then continued on to a local beach
to stretch our legs after a long drive. Then we went up a mountain to experience
some Carib culture.
As our van
blasted Bob Marley music with very high base but great sound quality, we
stopped at a small basket weaving shop and I got a few gifts for my family. We
continued to drive through the area and sampled homemade cassava bread. Next we
went to a local home to taste homemade chocolate. Finally, we went to a local
pool for swim call.
