One fine day in the lovely land of Dominica there was a group of Peace Corps Trainees with nothing to do on a Saturday so they decided to pull the tourist card and check out one of the natural wonders on the island.
Thats right we got a day off and deiced it would be fun to take a trip to the Emerald Pool. Well all meet in the capital and got a bus to take us on the hour or so journey into the rainforest and the Emerald Pool.
It started with a fifteen-minute hike that was really just a walk, through the rainforest. It was the most beautiful part of the island I have seen since coming here. The Emerald Pool is amazing, there is a waterfall that fills it and the water is crystal clear but has an emerald color to it. There is nature all around you, with giant trees that almost block out the sky above you, and so many different shades of green!!!!
Once we got to the pool we decided to go swimming, the water was pretty cold, but we all thought it was about the same temperature as the showers we take everyday anyways. We had a great time playing in the waterfall, and swimming around. I think we were annoying the tourist though they wanted photos of the pool without a group of 20 somethings messing around in it. By hey we didnt really care, were locals now!!!
Anyways it was a great trip to one of Dominicas natural wonders, cant wait to see more!
