Only in Dominica III

Well, it's finally here. Our last weekend in Dominica. It's time to pack our bags and say goodbye to everyone we have come to know and love on the island.

Chris has his last final exam on the island today. From here on out, he will be doing 2 years of hospital rotations. And for me, it marks the end of full-time housewifery.

Before we leave though, I wanted to share with you one more round of Only In Dominica..

do the gnomes have a sun tan...

does 2-Pac's cousin {1-Pac} own a banana hut...

or will you find President Obama gracing the hot sauce.

Only in Dominica does merely being competent get you a job...

Photobucket

will you find iguanas crossing campus...

Photobucket

or centipedes in your rum punch...

Photobucket

Only in Dominica can you get your bike washed at the car wash...

Photobucket

do you find inspirational messages on the backs of cars...

Photobucket

or can you listen to a didgeridoo band.

Photobucket

But Dominica definitely has the best slang ever...

Photobucket

and the best signs ever!

 

Through it all, I love this island in the sun. And I'll miss these "only in Dominica" moments soon. Living in a developing country hasn't always been the easiest or most convenient, but in the end it's taught me to laugh when things are ridiculous & to enjoy my surroundings, unique quirks and all.

p.s.  Clare did an Only in Dominica.. post today too!
