Trafalgar Falls and Screws Spa

On Tuesday, Alex and I went to Trafalgar Falls and Screws Sulphur Spa. The hike to reach Trafalgar Falls was only about ten minutes which was easy to do with Alex. It was also her first time seeing waterfalls (except for Minneopa Falls in Mankato but I doubt she remembers that, she was just a baby). When we got to the deck to view the falls we took some pictures then climbed down to the bottom. Alex was too scared of the water and didn't want to go in. The water to me felt like a hot bath. I was surprised at how warm it was. When Alex first put her foot in she thought it was hot and wanted nothing to do with it. She hasn't experienced a hot bath in a while and I'm sure she has forgotten what it feels like. Afterwards we headed to Screws Spa. On the way we passed an Obama billboard. Everyone here loves Obama and they are all glued to the election coverage on the TV. I was surprised to find a billboard here in Dominica so we stopped the bus to take a picture!

Screws Spa was awesome! I loved it! They had different pools of water ranging in temperature from cold to hot. I think Alex loved it too and is getting a little more comfortable around water. She even let me hold her in the water. A local who was there told me the sulphur would heel my mosquito bites, so I made sure to soak my legs in the water. Well, it's been a few days and they still aren't gone!

On to my computer, they say the motherboard needs to be replaced... I don't think I will be fixing it and will just wait to come home and take care of it. It just bites to not have skype during the day and I have to wait till Keith comes home from studying in the evenings to use the computer.

We have also had some interesting insects in our house lately. Centipedes! I hate them! They are gross! They are also predatory and bite! I have found quite a few! This has also made it hard for me to sleep at night! After finding a somewhat bigger one one night I called our landlord the next day to tell him we were moving out! There was no way I was going to live with centipedes! But today, after looking at two different places to live I found out that there is nothing I can do and that this is the environment. So today I called the landlord back and said we wouldn't be moving. He must think I'm crazy!

Here are some new pics:
