Today we went to Roseau where we experienced the market and also the pharmacy "Jolly." At the market we all picked up different items. Bridget and I bought many products used for cooking such as bay leaves, nutmeg and cinnamon sticks. After the market we also went to Trafalgar Falls and experienced the hot and cold water falls. We were able to swim in various areas of the falls that included hot and cold temperatures. The water was very clear and clean. I(Nicole) swam in the water for the first time and feel as though I have gotten over my water phobia for the time being!
At the pharmacy we were able to see just how different shelves were arranged compared to our over the counter medications in the US. There were many cream products such as betamethasone and retin-a that are sold over the counter in Dominica but only available as prescription in the US. They also sold tylenol with codeine over the counter. It was interesting to see how different restrictions are on certain medications.
