Jamaica mon!!

Wow, an awesome day in Jamaica. It was worth getting up early. We took a private tour with 15 other curise passengers. Ate jerk chicken, pork, sausage and other stuff at a local restaurant in Montego Bay. Drove around and saw the sights. Highlight of the day was stopping at a school to deliver school supplies we brought. Tears flowed as we watched the looks on the kids faces when we went in. So sad...no electricity, no windows, no fans..... Kids were hugging us, wanted their pictures taken. Their playground consisted of 3 tires buried in concrete. They were all beautiful children but no, I didn't kidnap any to bring home.
On to Margaritaville afterwards for some entertainment. Best margarita I ever drank. Lots of pictures taken.
Back to the boat, jumped in the shower to cool off and finally relaxing on our balcony overlooking Montego Bay as we wait to depart at 6pm for the Cayman Islands. Tomorrow we'll be doing some snorkeling.
Lee found a Harley shop in Montego Bay so he is happy with his souveners.
We're gonna find something to eat tonight, probably not in the dining room tonight. Just not feeling like getting dressed for that.
Oh, one more thing...in Jamaica they don't have problems, just situations. So remember that when you think life is tough. You really haven't tough until you've seen school children in Jamacia.
Love you all!!!
