The pictures are as Follows: Trafalgar Falls, the hike up Scott's Head, eating ribs @ Peter's Ribs (Local restaurant), and  swimming in The Fresh-Water Lake (elevation...way up in the mountains).  Bri and I spent one more day (sorry can't get the underline off) touring the heights and depths of Dominca.  Scott's head was maybe one of the most amazing coral reefs I've personally seen.  I saw 15 parrot fish, three squid (who when they saw me changed colors to a deep purple), puffer fish, schools of all kinds of fish I didn't know, and one really large fish (about 3 basketballs) I still can't figure out.  I also swam with a school of 60 or 70 Needle Fish.  On the far side of the reef there was a drop off that went down into a blue-black abyss.  Beautiful and scary at the same time.  
     Tomorrow begins the first day of classes.  I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.  I tend to shift between being excited and enthrawled with the material and overwhelmed with the sheer mountainous quality of it.  I would graciously appreciate your thoughts and prayers for me and for Briana during this time.  Signing off for now.  Updates are coming.  I'll have to take some study breaks!  Thanks for reading.   John
