Jamaica...

So driving to the resort for the wedding... everyone was on a bus and the bride/groom and photographer were in a different car. Driving in Jamaica is NOTHING like the US! I don't recall seeing and stop signs, and the few YIELD signs we saw were merely suggestions I think. And who needs turn signals... they have HORNS... and who cares about right of way! I don't think I could drive there!!!! The parts of Jamaica that we saw were quite shabby. Not the way that you would think of a place that is a tourist port.

After the wedding pictures on the ship the group went off the boat to shop... we chose to stay near the ship in the little market type place that was set up on the dock and the little building that we went through for security. That was a scary adventure. I am not good at "bartering" or "bargaining" with people on prices. I had Trevor do that for me when I bought my baskets for the girls!


The market set up just off the ship... had some baskets, jewelry, paintings, wood carvings, just about anything you can imagine that could possibly have been made in Jamaica.

The lines of people trying to get back on the ship before departure...
