The sunrise in Jamaica is gorgeous. It’s interesting to watch Jamaican culture unfold at the crack of dawn as fisherman head out to sea and tourists head out to scuba dive.

We woke up early, headed to the dock, and boarded a boat that took us out to a reef to snorkel. After seeing many colorful fish and swallowing several mouthfuls of salt water, we walked back to the villas to eat breakfast.

Once we had recuperated from our salty, early morning, the group decided to go back to James Bond Beach and squeeze as much fun as possible on our last day in Jamaica.

We took one last trip to Ocho Rios for last minute shopping in the afternoon. The rest of the day we watched a soccer game, packed, relaxed and enjoyed our last moments in beautiful Jamaica.

This has been an extraordinary trip that has opened my eyes to a different culture that I have come to respect and embrace. I can’t wait to share my experience with family and friends when I return home.
