According to my Caribbean travel book, the Emerald Pool is an "emerald-green pool fed by a 50-foot waterfall". Theo says that the reflection of the trees and plants is what makes the water appear to be green. Those of you who know me, know I am not necessarily a nature-loving girl. I am not a hiker and I don't like to be dirty. I figured I should try to put that aside and do the site-seeing things of the island. You know the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans"? Well, I say, "When in Dominica, get used to being dirty". Here is a picture of us hiking to the Emerald Pool..."an easy 20 minute hike". I know that from this picture you may think that I was struggling to keep up with the group. In fact, I did pretty good and was actually at the front of the line a couple of times.

Andrea and me. If I look exhausted, it's because I was sleeping in the van.
A random man that was from another country swimming in the Emerald Pool. I'm sure he didn't expect to end up on a blog! 2 of the girls got in and swam, but it was actually kind of cold down in the rain forest.
