Henry, Chrinstine, George, Sally and I donned day packs and headed up the mountain for adventure but actually all I got was out of breath.  We had tons of fun and will have no problem sleeping.  met farmers on mountain top planting irish & sweet potatoes, plantain, bananas, sweet corn, all in a two acre patch of relatively steep hillside for farming.  We then returned to hike the upper end of the Indian river and stopped at Ray’s Roadie shop for some delicious roadies that we had heard about all morning and was to be the highlight.  They were sold out when we got there.  Went back the next day and they are a must try item in Dominica.  Some kind of curried chicken and potatoes in flat bread wrap, delicious & exotic .
