One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain... Hit me with music..hit me with music now.
- Bob Marley
Today was such a wonderful day! A few of us went to the Bob Marley museum! I have loved Bob's music for so long and to be there at his home, with all of his memorabilia and whatnot, was just incredible. Naturally I took a billion photos which will be on Facebook eventually. We took a tour of his home, the grounds, and watched a movie that had clips from live interviews and concerts. Although most see him as a smoker who happened to have catchy music, he truly was a man who wanted peace. All he wanted was for people of all colors to live together in peace and harmony. He was so prideful for this country and unfortunately passed at the age of 36. His wife and family have made his home into a museum with so much history. Seeing his Legends album with the triple platinum records beside it was really something. I am so happy to have gotten the opportunity to get to the museum.
Following the museum we went to the Devon House. This historic home is open to the public to view. The home is beautiful with much history from centuries ago. Behind the house there are clothing shops, an ice cream shop, and a pastry shop. Very cute area with many tourists- like me!
Later in the afternoon Ms. Bishop took us to see the University Singers. They performed for two hours- from opera to reggae. It was great listening to them sing about how much Jamaica means to them.
Clearly, Bob was my favorite part to this day.
