Jamaica

In Jamaica we had so much fun. I didn't realize that it is like one big hill. It felt like we were in the jungle. We hired a driver through Marva Shaw at knowjamaica.com to take us around. Our drivers name was Grace. She was so awesome. 1st when we got into Jamaica it's a little crazy, there are a ton of people and everyone wants you to go with them. We had this nice lady help us find our driver. Grace told us a lot about the history and we were able to do so much with her. She took us up into the mountains and stopped by a little stand where a lady told us all about the fruits and spices they grow there. We were able to try a fruit they call Sour Salt...it was so yummy. She also showed us a small lemon...the size of a cantaloupe. I can't believe Jenny & I both forgot to take pictures at the stand (Kelly rolled his eyes everytime I asked someone to take our picture...he was pictured out).
This is right on the port to welcome us to Ocho Rios.

We climbed this waterfall...this is just part of it.


Here we are in the water at the falls. We had so much fun...thank goodness Grace told us to leave everything that we didn't want to get wet. We were soaked. Our nice guide took us up the falls and kept our camera dry!

This is where Grace took us to get Jamaican Jerked Chicken. We thought it was okay, but it's fun to try new things.




Kelly and Lanny really wanted to parasail, so Grace found someone to take them. She wouldn't ride in the boat. We found out why...the waves were 5' and it was really windy, but the guys loved it. Jenny & I were too chicken...maybe next time.
