Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Dunn's River Falls - where thousands of tourists can pay to stand and walk up these beautiful waterfalls with the smarter ones watching them from a boardwalk above.  Yes, I got to enjoy the luxury of taking pictures from the side lines because...

...I was not about to risk slipping and falling down on my prego belly on these wet rocks!! I would have done it though, if I weren't pregnant.  Brown murky water and all, it was so hot and humid the thought of getting in that water was really tempting =)

Luckily, I had my Daddy to hang out with and make jokes at the stupid tourists who were being led into dorky chants and campy songs while making the watery treck.  It was soo silly at times that it reminded us of a day care or summer camp for big kids/adults - hee hee hee.

My wonderful new sister-n-law, Jessie.  It was such a joy to get to spend more time with her and get to know her more.  I can't wait to see their little one - yes, she has one in the oven.  Doesn't she look fabulous?!!
Here is one of many of the beautiful plant life that we saw.  Our tour guide showed us a certain fruit (already forgot the name of it) that they eat alot of in Jamaica and it can only be eaten after it blooms on it's own.  If you try to eat it before the plant opens, it releases a poisonous gas that can kill you.  

Along the waterfall hike, there were also alot of huge spiders that were yellow and black.  They were the creepiest things ever.  I tried to take a picture of them but they were too far away and my point-n-shoot camera couldn't focus on them.

That wraps up our second stop.  We took a tour bus to and from the falls and the guide was able to direct our attention to the different achievements of Jamaica, such as their sugar containers...oooh ahhhh....and the big mantion of a house that some famous Jamaican golfer used to live in....wooowww!!!!  

Ryan also bought some supposedly really good Jamaican Rum which he brought home.  However, he didn't quite wrap one of the bottles really well in his suitcase and when we opened it, we found all of his clothes drenched in Rum and shards of glass everywhere. =(  But, at least he has one bottle left to enjoy.  Drink up, Lover =)
