Today we woke up super early...well about 6:30AM, so that we could go to "Nine Mile". We visited the place that Bob Marley was born, lived until age 10, and was buried. It was an hour and a half ride up the mountain...on roads that reminded me of Ethiopia...except paved. They had pot holes, there were people along side the road, and it was only wide enough for 1 vehicle...although there were vehicles going in opposite directions. To say the least, the ride there was a little bumpy. But, despite the bumps, Simret decided that it would be a good time for a nap. So, she napped about an hour of the ride up the mountain.

Today, it is raining like crazy...a complete down-pour...so a great day for a tour. We saw the bed that Bob slept in, the rock that he mediated on, the stove that his mother cooked with...etc. The people were great and we learned a lot about Bob's history, that I had not know before. He is certainly considered a God here. Did you know he fathered at least 12 children that they know about...they don't mention with how many women...instead they say, "ya mon, he liked to spread his seed, if you know what I mean".

We then returned home, went to the grocery store to pick up some more snacks for Simret and then went to dinner. I cannot say it enough, the food here is amazing...spicy and a vegetarian's paradise. Simret danced with the other 14 month old to the band, and this time not tackling her once!
Tomorrow...Simret swims with the dolphins...

I love the photos, especially the family one. WHERE did you get those pants (maybe more importantly, how have I missed them all these years?) I have to have a pair, I love them! Think of us friday...
