We cannot believe how quickly this weekend, much less this month, has flown by! Christina and Cindy were able to show Bobby & Ted around campus Friday followed by a relaxing evening at the flat. Saturday and Sunday we ventured to Port Royal and Lime Cay. We toured Port Royal, which was once Jamaica's capitol destroyed by an earthquake in the 1600s. Part of the original town and fort remains which we toured.
Fort Charles
Inside the Giddy House, built in the 1880s, survived the earthquake of 1907 (barely)
Cindy and Ted at Morgan's Harbor Marina & Hotel where we stayed 
The coast of Lime Cay, which is an uninhabited island about 10 miles off the coast of Port Royal. We spent the day here being beach bums and enjoying the crystalline blue waters.

That evening we went to UWI for a concert: The Art of Steel. Local composers and artists were featured at this event which showcased some calypso and nontraditional steel pan music. What a treat! Afterward, one of the artists was kind enough to show us the pans and talk to us about the art of pan music and how pans are made, tuned and played.
