Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.

Our last port of call was Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Was so looking forward to visiting this place especially after watching Cool Runnings but checked what others said on line and found some very negative comments. Made us very dubious and so did go ashore to shop some but did not get out and about as we would have liked.Oh well, the beaches were easily accessible and nice. We are not big beach people any more though. ha! Found people fun and so nice. Enjoyed our stop very much and glad we did go ashore to at least say we went there. No excursions though which was probably a mistake but were thankful we did what we did.. Think it is like most places. Better than some and not as bad as we had thought it would be... (of course if we had looked at comments before booking probably wouldn't have gone there to begin with and that would have been a bigger mistake. ha! - how do you like that reasoning?
