We've had so much fun ALL week long, but today was our designated "fun" day!
Today we spent the day in Ocho Rios or Ochi as it's called here. We had our first rain this morning, but luckily it cleared out by the time we got to the market. The first part of our morning was spent visiting the different booths and stores in town. We purchased lots of souvenirs for our family and friends!
So be on the lookout for those! :)
We ate lunch in town, most of us at a traditional Jamaican fast-food place called Mothers.
We had Jamaican patties (a meat pastry).
Then we ventured to Dunn's River Falls. There we climbed the waterfall and played in the beautiful Caribbean Sea! It was a beautiful and fun day!
We also got to see some of our friends from the University of Georgia Wesley Foundation!
This evening we had a lovely dinner of Jerk Chicken, mac & cheese, salad and festivals (yummy fried bread). It was so delicious and the staff set a lovely table outside. We have been truly spoiled by our gracious hosts and all of the Jamaican people we've encountered!
This week has been incredible and we all want to stay!
