Kingston Tour Time


Today we experienced a very amazing as well as entertaining time.  We had a tour through parts of Kingston where we saw an art museum, a music studio, the Bob Marley Museum and a driving tour of the University of the West Indies.  I learned a large amount of information during these tours.  For example, I learned about a wonderful artist named Barrington Watson and found out that he is still able to create pictures/paintings even though he was temporarily  blind in one of his eyes.

I went to the music studio with the group where Briana, Janee and Kayah sang a song.  We then went to experience the drive through tour of the University of the West Indies.  I also learned during the tour that the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt, practices track at that University field, which is named after him.

 At the Bob Marley Museum (BMM) my father and I could feel Bob’s spirit while going through the tour.  Luckily I was able to meet and take some pictures with a couple of his sons, Julian and Kymani Marley.  It made me feel so happy. 

I plan to take the knowledge I learned and pass it to my family and community. Additionally, I will make an announcement at school about the knowledge I have gained, as well as, posting to on the Internet my experience to spread throughout the world. This knowledge that I learned was outstanding, we all learned about a wonderful artist named Barrington Watson. This brother
