Post Mini 2

So, we just had our second exam of the semester this past Thursday. Afterwards, some friends and I went to a nice beach around here for the afternoon and then went to dinner at Red Rock. I had the surf and turf there and it was really good...a small filet mignon with shrimp. The next day I took off from classes and just laid in bed all day watching TV. It felt so nice to not have to do anything. Saturday morning, some friends and I went down to Roseau, the capital here, for a weekend. We got there and went to Scottshead which is at the southern tip of the island and there is a small strip of land there where the Caribbean is on one side and the Atlantic Ocean is on the other. We climbed up to the middle part of Scottshead and got some nice pictures and then came down and went snorkeling in the Caribbean. The weather was a little overcast and the water was a little choppy so snorkeling was a little difficult. After that, we went to the hotel we were staying in, checked in, and went out and hung out on our balcony for a while. We ended up seeing a whale off the coast which was awesome! There was also a big cruise ship docked in Roseau. Our hotel was basically right next to the ship dock so we had a great view of the ship that luckily moved so we could see the sunset from our balcony as well! The rest of that day was pretty uneventful...we just all hung out and enjoyed not doing anything which was very nice. Sunday, we woke up, had breakfast at the hotel, went to the infinity pool for a bit, then went to Trafalgar Falls and Screws Spa. At Trafalgar we got to see two waterfalls which were gorgeous...one of them is called the Father and the other is the Mother...I don't know the story behind that, I was just told by someone else. After that, we went to Screws Spa which is a Sulfur spring. They had three different pools you could go into...a hot one, a warm one, and a cool one. This place was literally in the middle of the rainforest and it was really nice and really relaxing. At one point, it started raining and we were in the hot springs...it was nice to just sit there and have the cool rain beat down on you as you were sitting in the hot water. The weekend was definitely very amazing and very relaxing which was just what we all needed. I am totally ready to be back in the states but I am going to miss this place...it is just so beautiful here and I am glad I got the opportunity to explore a little before leaving. Here are a few pictures from the weekend:
