A new year- 2007

This year for Christmas, we were contacted by some folks who wanted to rent our house for the two weeks over Christmas and New Years. They made us an offer we couldn't refuse so we decided to head off on a vacation of our own. Many say, why, you're living in paradise already. The problem is when you live here full time it's home and sometimes it's nice to get away from phones, internet, newspapers and kick back, read a book, do some diving, walk in a rainforest, etc.

So we chose the island of Dominica, one of the windward islands in the Caribbean. There's great scuba diving and most of the island is a mountainous tropical rainforest with literally hundreds of rivers, waterfalls, hot springs and rainbows. you see, it rains a lot in a rainforest, so rainbows were a daily thing. It was quiet with lots of opportunities to sit back and read a book with some real exercise too.

Now, we're back in Bucerias, a different sort of paradise, but it's good to be home...
