First Hour First Hike!

View of Scott's Head

I landed in Dominica and hit the ground running (literally!).  I landed in the AM, changed my cloths and I was off to Hike.  Dominica has a National Trail that runs through the whole island and is broken up in 13 or 14 different Segments. 

The Yellow and Blue Strips Guided Me Along the Trail

I did the Segment #1, which is in the south of the island.  While hiking by myself, I was able to take in the moments, clear my head, and sort out what my goals are for 2013.  During the hike I realized how terrified I am of snakes.  I blame it on my childhood neighbor boys (who I love dearly) who chanced me around the neighborhood with a garden snakes in their hand.  Anyways, two small/thin snakes crossed the trail and I went running and screaming like they were attacking me! Anyways, it is one of my favorite hikes and has a beautiful view of Scott’s Head once you reach the top!

That evening I was able to go up to my village and see everyone.  It was just great to see everyone and hang out at the same spot I spent many nights as a volunteer.  Also, I was able to catch up with neighbor who is sweet as pie and I miss dearly!
