Kingston

Today was a day of traveling to Kingston and My Pin. We made our first stop in My Pin where we bought rope...yes rope! We stopped at a rope factory and found out how rope was made. The reason we bought it was because we will be making jump ropes for all the students at the elementary schools :)
After the rope factory we went to Emancipation Park and learned about the history of the land and people. It was very interesting but hard to pay attention when the sun is beating down on you, but I'm not complaining! Yes and for I had jerk pork. It was pretty good and spicy. Back on the road we passed the indoor stadium where they do trials for the Olympics! Very cool!
After the park we actually went to Bob Marleys house. We didn't take the tour because we didn't want to pay, but we still went to the gift shops of course!
Once we were done at Bobs house we went to the Devon house which is a Jamaican plantation, plus they had ice cream(that was the main reason for going. Very good by the way)
As I'm writing this, I'm sitting by the pool with the girls. It's a lil chilly with the wind and the sun goes down too early for me!
