Epic travels

So my time in Jamaica has come to an end.  I had the time of my life learning and exploring the land of Jamaica.  I have so many great memories of my times there.  I will never forget the people I met and the places we visited.  So thanks Tonia and Craig for allowing me to live with you and making my time unforgettable.  I spent a month down in the sun and it has been hard to come back to the states to where it is so cold.  (Sorry Tonia and Craig but you guys are going to freeze I'm afraid).  I arrived back to the States on Thursday night where I stayed with Kevin Magart and his beautiful family.  The next morning I thought that I better start on my epic road trip so I went out to start my car and nothing.  My car was dead, I know what a good start for my trip.  So Kevin Jumped me and I was off, or so I thought.  I needed gas so I pulled into a gas station to fuel up (by the way I'm in love with the gas prices) forgetting that I needed to let my car charge a bit longer I shut it off.  Big mistake! My car was no longer going to start the battery was shot.  I had quite a few nice gentle men help me out, hitting on me, and asking for my number several times.  It was great.  After about an hour we were able to get the car started and I was on my way again, but to Wal-Mart this time to get a new battery and some other things done to my lovely car.  After 4 long and tormenting hours at Wal-Mart my car was finely done and I was free to leave Georgia.  The next couple of days were a blur, I just drove and drove.  I drove from Atlanta Georgia to somewhere in New Mexico in a little under a couple of days, that's over 140o miles.  Once I arrived to New Mexico (where I met a couple of friends) I crashed for a couple of days refusing to get back into the car.  I spent my time just hanging out, biking, and eating some good food.  I'm now in Gallup New Mexico where I met my good friend Erin.  When I got into town we we on a little hike, which was beautiful.  It reminded me that I miss the West and all of the beauty that it offers.  
     I will be hanging out at Erin's for the rest of the day and tomorrow I will be heading off to Arizona to see Cheri and Joe.  Hopefully I can remember to take some pictures so you can see my travels.  Take Care

Some more fun in the sun! ya mon!

Today was a wonderful day in the sun. We went to a beautiful place on the south beach. We played in the water, ate some great food, and lounged around in some hammocks. It was great!


I believe that this cannon was from an old pirate ship called the black pearl, it was said to have magical powers and could out sail any boat in the Caribbean. It was a fierce crew full of scoundrels and scallywags that would take the hair off of your back! I know what your thinking, but don't worry because I know of a guy who knows a guy of a man that knew a monkey that saw the black pearl go down from a giant sea monster. The crew turned into tiny sea horses, the monster ate the ship, and all that has survived of that magical ship is this lone cannon.

What a beautiful place!

HI!





Oh how I love hammocks!

The flowers here are amazing









Manatees!

This past weekend we went to Alligator Hole which is a little town on the island. Before you get to town there is a place on the river where there are Manatees, also know as the sea cow. They are a shy water living mammal that weighs around 1 ton. They are really cool and have made their way up on my list of favorite mammals.
After the awesome experience with the Manatees we went into town and ate at a little restaurant on the beach. Enjoy...


That's such a bummer! I only go fishing with dynamite :(

Typical Jamaican paddles. Why do I spend so much money on my paddles? I'm sure I can get a custom made paddle for me here at a fraction of the cost!





What do you see? Oh my gosh! its a Manatees!!!!! Do you see it? look close

This is a restaurant that we went to after seeing the manatees. It was called Little Ochi. Can you figure out what the sign means?

Some of the awesome seating arrangements on the beach at the restaurant.



Beautiful sunset!
