Pictures....of November

There are a lot of pictures so I hope you enjoy them. Lately (all of November) it has been raining a lot. Some days I end up seeing 5 to 8 rainbows that include double rainbows. So far I think I have seen more rainbows on Dominica than I have my whole life!!!

A picture of a rainbow from our apartment. You can see the clouds coming over the mountains....and sometimes you can't even see the mountains like below. Days like this are when I cancel swim lessons. :)

Another rainbow.
A storms a comin'! The clouds here are so neat. I love looking at clouds and you encounter almost every type here on the island. The whole sky was pink so Ben had me pose for a picture. Cute.
When I was younger these were the types of clouds I thought angles lived on.

But if you look under it is rather scary!!! Look how low the clouds get!!! Run for cover! P.S we have also experiences two earthquakes!!! There have been more....like 100 within the last few months. But I have only felt two. I guess it's because we have 7 volcanoes on this island.

Ben presenting at a Wilderness Medicine lecture. He did a great job.
After Ben's mini 2 exam he had a day off to go to the beach. He really wanted to see #1 beach and it turned out to be an awesome day for it! When we arrived the waves were huge and the beach shrunk. It seemed like a totally different beach compared to when I went there earlier. We went with our friends Deb and Dylan, it ended up being so much fun!



Us! So cute!

Another rainbow and a small little cave.
Here we are again and the rainbow is shooting out of the palm tree.
The sand was extremely smooth and had no shells. It's mostly a black sand beach. Ben was laying down in it and I thought the pictures looked cool. So I had us take a picture together. I think this is one of my favorites.
Ben wading out towards the waves. They were so strong and I would only let us go up to our hips. It probably wasn't the safest thing to do. But again, so much fun!
I was attempting to cover Ben with sand. When I got back with the camera a wave had washed him away.

Me and Deb sitting on the beach, with a pile of coconut shells behind us and huge waves ahead!
Me walking back to the trail.
Now a quick change of scenery. This is a rare picture of Ben studying at home. He doesn't study at home because it's a distraction. Even though I go into the other room and watch t.v. Bummer.
This is a picture I took on my way into town. I took it because you can see the mountain of the other island in the distance.
The End!!! Hopefully we can get more up before Christmas. But if not, the next post will be of Argentina!!! Yay!!!! Merry Christmas Everyone!

Eat More Fish!

So this posting is a collection of things. The picture above is of some super cool clouds we saw while we were walking to get chinese food. It's kind of faint, but there is a huge white cloud that looks like a mountain, and then there are clouds behind it that are pink. This day turned out to be super nice in the afternoon because of the clouds. It was the first time I went to a grocery store and didn't come out sweating. None of the stores have air conditioning. There was a time when I hated grocery stores being too cold- and now I wish I had one. So in the end it was a good day.

The meat of this post has to do with the pictures below. We took these pictures on our way to church today. The water was an awesome blue and so Ben had me get into the picture. Church ends up being a 30 minute walk and so by the time we get there we are both sweating. That is all you do on this island- sweat. The real challenge we have right now is getting to church on time because I conduct during sacrament meeting. Yay.

This second picture is of one of the signs on our way to church. It is sooo funny. Ben and I always laugh at it. It makes them seem like they are savages and are attacking the fish. Argh!!!!! They could of had a picture of someone cutting a fish, or using a fork and knife. But instead it is someone eating it (probably raw) down to the bones. As if it's the last its the last fish ever. So moral of the board- Eat More Fish!
