Like everybody should know, in june i went to Jamaica on a mission trip with my school. I had a Wonderful time meeting the different people there, and trying new things (like the food NOTHING ELSE!) It was a good experience learning about culture and there ways of living. I was there for 10 days. While there for ten days we taught in a school, and donated school supplies, and books to the library. While we were not teaching we went to YS falls, jumped off 25 ft cliff there. Snorkeled in there reef, and saw some beautiful creatures. We went to the world famous Ricks Cafe where some brave classmates Jumped off the 40 ft cliff. I took Pictures

We also went to the Black river safari where we learned about the rivers main sources and there main species of animal. The CROCODILE!!! some brave classmates and teachers jumped from a tree into the river and shortly after noticed that a croc was 10 ft away. Me describing this wonderful place doesnt do any good so bear with me while i try and upload the pictures. I will not upload them all but fell free to look on photobucket for the rest of them.

Not in any particular order.

Awesome TR, Dustin. I was waiting for you to put one of these up.

Where in Jamaica were you at? Kingston? And, also, did your group take time to learn about their culture?

We were in Negril, Jamaica which is a 3 hr drive thorugh the mountains to get to Kingston.

We learned about there culture, by being invited by peace core volunteers who live in a house with a jamiacan man and a dog.

We were taught how to prepare and make jamaican style foods.

My teacher involved with the trip made this awesome video about the trip i just have to share it with you.

Wow, that looks amazing. It's so nice of you to help teach the Jamaican kids. So how did you get there? Did you take a plane all the way to Jamaica?

Wow!!! That looks great! Glad you had fun!
