This week has been miserably hot. Burning forehead, sweat dripping down my back, even the AC only takes the edge off hot. It's 11:00 at night, and the only reason I'm not sweating is because I have a fan blasting 4 ft away. In my year of living in Dominica, I have discovered that I can pretty much predict the weather on any given day based on the following information.
"But what about the rain?" you ask. From my experience, if it was hot before it rained it will be hot after it rains. This chart is 99.9% accurate, I guarantee it or your money back. Why else would Dominica be the 10th least populated country in the world?!

Site Seeing & Snorkeling
Yesterday was wonderful. I went on an incredible trip to Scott's Head and Champagne Bay and it couldn't have been a more perfect day for site seeing and snorkeling. Scott's Head is at the Southern tip of Dominica where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.
We walked up a short trail to an amazing lookout. Clare and I are both "semi-retired" teachers who are so lucky to be traveling instead of being a part of the back to school madness happening in America right now.
The water is so clear you can easily see the reef below where we went snorkeling. Cabrit's Dive shop also offers scuba diving here, and I can't wait to see this place from a different perspective. There is a drop off where the reef descends over a hundred feet.
From Scott's Head, we drove up to Champagne Bay where the snorkeling is seriously out of this world. Bubbles of air stream from underneath this beautiful reef.

Champagne Bay is truly the best place I've ever snorkeled. The water was calm and warm, hundreds of different kinds of fish were swimming around, there are multiple reefs within swimming distance, and the champagne bubbles were just icing on the cake.

Summer
In my hive-induced imprisonment at home this weekend (don't ask!), I've had some time to devote to catching up with things online. Has anyone ever seen this awesome website called Polyvore? It's online shopping + design in one! Check out the summer collection I made. If only I could afford this stuff.
