Dear Mishka
Up early for snorkeling at Champagne
Beach. An hour away on twisty windy trails (you should be proud, I
didn't puke there or back!). The faculty spouses group. I'm a lot
younger in age but oh well.
It was really beautiful and we all went
right in. Matthew even put on a life vest and paddled out into the
ocean. I was SO PROUD of him, he said it was no big deal since he
had the vest but you and I know different. And this was the ocean,
not the Huron River in a canoe.
It was beautiful... fish, coral, all
sorts of life.... and then the fun part. The champagne. Remember I
told you once Dominica was a volcanic island? Still is. Gases
beneath the plates build up and are released from below between crevasses
below and flutter up to the surface like champagne bubbles. You swim
through these beautiful things, feeling them brush your face and
hearing them in your ears. This was quite far out but Matt was there
beside me. No flippers or snorkel, but his mask on and paddling away
in his vest. Mishka, I was swimming in a glass of champagne with
bright blue and yellow fish swimming by. If this isn't a world meant
for you I don't know what is
On an offside, I should mention that
our first day/night we went to a local eatery/restaurant called Tomatoes. Girlfriend, I have traveled the US, England and Scotland
and have discovered that on a still developing island, in the far
edge of the Caribbean, in a little open air place on campus, is the
the best cheesecake I have ever had in my entire life!!!!
I am not joking, this was beyond anything I thought cheesecake could
be. So rich it would drop Dominic in one bite. Come on, swimming in
Champagne and eating cheesecake? I'm still waiting for the
breakdown. Maybe on move in day..
Love
The
