Today marks another day in what I have termed, "The Two Goals of Life on Dominica."
These two goals consist of 1) graduating from med school and doing well and 2) catching everything that moves.  
     Today we went to
Ft. Shirley in Cabrits.  It was a British built and manned fort that at one time had 35 cannon (each one could shoot out about a mile and 1/2 out into the bay or so said the sign).  The best part was hiking on a trail into the jungle with our friends.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.  We can't wait to go back on the trail.  There was a mutiny of the slaves here (info on picture) and eventually they won their freedom.  Dominica was one of the first British colonies to be emancipated en masse.  Tomorrow we're taking a day off the excursions and catching up on some much needed rest.  Thanks for reading.

Graduating with good marks and catching everything that moves... Sounds like a familiar plan for college.
