moments...

this was so fun! we found these fisherman taking fush out of their nets...
I was, of course, not looking where I was going and ran over this already dead crab with the stroller-- the crab guts on my wheel and the nasty crunching sound were NOT my favorite thing!


ok so my first near death experience in Dominica- yes it has something to so with the DINOSAUR sized spider you see captured in this photo-- so I was watching the show "So you think you can dance" when out of the corner of my eye I see something huge go running into our bedroom- I thought it was a mouse-seriously- let's just say that when I went to investigate and make friends with Fifel or Gus Gus- I was VERY disapointed... to make a long story short, after a large amount of praying, screaming and an entire can of bug spray later... monster spider was dead and Jamal (our sweet landlord guy) came flying up the stairs to save me- at least some male was there to help (of course once I had done the dirty work) since J was studying at school.


the birds where there to catch any left overs


there were so many fish- we loved it- some people were collecting to eat and some where collecting for bait.

Okay, if Jason had been home he'd have run faster and screamed louder than you...I'm still scared, just looking at it dead! I thought when you said "No poinsonus insects" it meant NO SPIDERS AT ALL!!!!

That is truly gross. You were not joking when you said a dinosaur sized spider! He's nasty!

I like how you just snuck the picture in there between baby, fish, and dead crab. I think I will die if I ever see a spider that big and I may have nightmares just from seeing yours! Yuck!

I TOTALLY know what you're talking about with that spider! I had one in my room too and they are HUGE!! I almost died. You are very brave, I was on the bed practically crying and frantically trying to call Paul. (Good thing Chelsie was there to kill it for me...)
