Dominica - March 22-23

Daphne standing in the sun (Mar 22, 2006, 12:22pm) Here is Daphne standing in the sun to warm up while we take a quick break from our river hike above Titou Gorge.

Ben jumps into pool at end (Mar 22, 2006, 12:27pm) After almost two hours of swimming, scrambling and climbing, we reach the end of our hike. The river continues, but the next waterfall (which you can see at the far left of this picture) is just too much for our group. In this picture, you see Ben jumping into the deep pool below the waterfall. It was dark, but I was able to use the camera's flash and time the picture (after a few attempts).

Another look at the waterfall we climbed (Mar 22, 2006, 01:05pm) During the return hike, Jeffrey, Ben and I just jumped off of the tall waterfall that we had to use a rope to climb. Daphne and Stephanie climbed down (with help). Here is a last look at that waterfall.
