Roman Catholic Church in Soufriere. In all villages, those missionaries always made sure the church was always the largest building.

This was my very frustrating attempt at trying to get BOTH falls of Trafalgar into one photo (note waterfall on each extreme edge. Since it was a climb up to this platform, it was impossible to back up any further, and I had no wider angle.

Trafalgar Falls is perhaps the most famous of all tourist destinations in Dominica, as it is actually two falls from 2 different water sources. This one is the lower, or "mother" falls.

This is the higher of the two falls, or "father falls." At the bottom pool is a hot sulfur spring which flows down as warm river below.

The hot sulfur springs mix with the cool river water to make perfect temperature natural mineral baths, ideal for soaking.

I climb down along the river to find one with a little "shoulder waterfall" that looks just perfect for me...

For the third time this week, I find myself all alone in Dominica's most popular tourist attractions, partly due to the cool, soft rain that is falling on my face. This is SHEER BLISS!!
