Dominica - March 19-20

School girls in Roseau (Mar 20, 2006, 09:56am) On our way to Champagne Reef for snorkeling, we pass by the cricket fields in Roseau. Since it is during school hours, the field is used by the local students, as you can see here.

Unlucky school bus in Roseau (Mar 20, 2006, 10:01am) On our way to catch a bus to Champagne Reef, we took a shortcut through the botanical gardens in Roseau, where we found this unfortunate school bus. This school bus was crushed by the Boabab tree during Hurricane David.

Banyan Tree in the Roseau botanical gardens (Mar 20, 2006, 10:02am) This is a Banyan Tree (also known as a Red Ficus or Ficus benghalensis), which we saw along the road through the botanical gardens in Roseau. The aerial roots definitely make this tree stand out.
