February 2010 Archives

It's been a long time since I posted here, as is usually the case during academic semesters for me. But this spring I'm on my own so I'll be posting again. I have two photo/travelogues to post - a trip last year to the Grand Canyon, and a very recent trip to the Caribbean. Look for those over the next few months.  Here's a taste: the island of Dominica, wild and relatively undeveloped, quintessential British West Indies, a chunk of wilderness and local culture that survives while other islands are strangled by cheap jewelry stores.  Below, the capitol city of Roseau.

Deep in the interior of this large island are waterfalls aplenty. With over 300 rivers and steep terrain, this is waterfall paradise. I saw a relatively small one, Jaco Falls, not far from the last surviving tribe of Carib Indians.
