Carib Reservation Dominica

Eight Kalinago villages are located in Dominica's Carib Territory, a 3700-acre reservation ruled by an elected chief.

Wonderful pictures. I first saw similar pictures about 8 years ago when my friends who were born in DA went back for vacation. Like yours, there's were beautiful as well.

We will put the Carib Reservation on our list of must-dos when we sail the Caribbean. I have been following your blog from Sacramento for a couple of years, admiring your amazing gardens and photos. We are getting closer to making our move to my native Puerto Rico, and hope to be sailing the West Indies within a year. :) Fran
