Dominica Update

Dominica

It has been a while since I have posted!  Dominica is looking much greener now, nature has a wonderful way of fixing itself.  The island still has a long way to go and we feel that the summer here is going to be extremely hot as we do not have the forest cover and shade from the trees. 

The hurricane season is approaching far too quickly for our liking.  Many homes need to be fixed.  Listening to everyone it seems difficult to get materials as so many islands were affected by Irma and Maria.

In the Layou valley we are seeing quite a lot of parrots which is wonderful.  However we are not seeing many hummingbirds or banana-quits, it is very tragic.  We still have no electricity in our area and we think it will be a long time before we get it.  We are so lucky to have a generator.

Mainly our internet is on our smartphones.  Wifi is in Roseau and Portsmouth!  There are many areas without electricity and internet.

It is not an easy time in our islands and the folks who were always excited about experiencing a hurricane might have changed their minds now!!

None of us here are looking forward to 2018 hurricane season.
