Here in Dominica Day 1

Getting here went really smooth, it is absolutely beautiful.  The Alexis' met us at the airport and got us a taxi to Canefield, where the apartment is.  Nelson, our taxi driver was awesome! He stopped along the way (the drive was 1 hour) so we could take pictures.  The drive was through the mountains and the jungle.  He bought us passion fruit and picked lemon grass for us and narrated the whole ride and told us all about the island.  We arrived at the apartment despite no street signs or any real landmarks.  The apartment is on the top of a mountain and has a great view of Canefield, the Canefield airport and the ocean.  The first night was the most eventful and comical so far.  At 3:30 am all four of us were awake from the wonderful sounds of roosters, goats, people, cars, barking dogs, chickens, crickets, and the legendary crapaud.  Needless to say we didn't get much sleep that night.
