Make sure to see all the new pics, I added alot!!!

Emmy's back!

Emmy learned out to eat rice cereal... Well, it's a work in progress.

Through her mouth, through her nose, it all gets to the same place...

At the airport! You can tell from her expression, she really missed me!

Dominica's cutest new arrival!

To the airport/ Pirate's filming areas

This is Dominica's major airport... all of it.

This is a beach scene from Pirate's 2.

This is the old aiport/ new airport extension.

Remember in Pirate's 2, when the crew of the Black Pearl is trapped in that hamster ball and running (rolling) from the natives? This is where the ball rolled down the hill (the road was editied out)

This is the place where the fish guys from the Flying Dutchmen were fighting Elizabeth and the other two guys for Davey Jone's chest.

Emmy's photo shoot

Still professional even after a long day's hike.

We call this one "The Virgin Emmy"

She needs a lunch break, posing makes her hungry.

But she's right back on her game after a well earned desert.

Precious moments at Ft Shirley

Island Wildlife

There are many edible animals on the island. Emmy loves the local hermit crab popcicles.

This leaf is really big...

There are many varities of cool looking lizards.

This little guy has been climbing this vine since the late 18th century, we speculate.

Not the most ideal trees for a tree house.

A view from the restored portion of Fort Shirley across the bay. The yachts here are from all over. The people will take little dingy boats to the beach during the day, then back the the yachts at night.

Keeping Emmy cool.

Cannons from the restored portion of ft Shirley. Our house is across the bay to the far right of the picture.

Cathy got lost. It took us a while to cut her out!

Part of the old barracks. This place is huge!

Ft Shirley

This is Fort Shirley, aka the Jungle Book's inspiration. This is an old Brittish fort that was abondoned and literally reclaimed by the forest. It's located on the peninsula across the bay from the university. It's about a 25 min walk from our house.

Cathy would like you to appreciate the amazing architecture of this old comandant's mansion. We have renamed it Castle Hermit Crabina as you can't step inside this place without squishing a cute little hermit crab.

This is the old barracks of the fort. These trees are literally growing out of the old stone walls and completely encompassing them with vines. I'm not quite light enough yet to swing on them, give me some time...
