Day 8: Divine Devon's

We lazily woke up for the day and prepared for a short itinerary.

The only thing we had on the agenda for the day was Devon's House. It was also mother's day.

I have to say it is quite weird that I am not home during mother's day. I thought it was odd that I wouldn't be going to the country club for mimosas with mom and grandma.

But anyway, thanks to Brooke, we figured out that we can have people call our Flat phone. So, I actually got to talk to my sister and my mom.

But anyways- we set out for Devon's House.

Mr. Devon is said to have been a man who was freed before the slaves were freed. And he was one of Jamaica's first self-made millionaires. He has a large estate house on the grounds. He is known for his creamery and from that creamery ice cream!

It was a very busy day at Devon House as it was Sunday and mother's day. We were able to explore a little but most of the shops were closed so we went into one little one.

Can you spot the American???

And then we found the chocolate shop. I'm pretty sure Leena would die if she saw this place. Handmade chocolates and chocolate dipped treats! Thanks to Dex who bought me a strawberry. SO DELICIOUS!

Hahah

I must showcase the awesome braid Brook gave me! Thanks lady! 

But soon enough it was time to sit down.

The menu was prepicked and we were only able to select from the selection they provided.

I opted for the pumpkin and bell pepper bisque, the jerked pork with potatoes, and bread pudding for dessert. DELICIOUS! Although the entree wasn't as hot as I would like, it was soooooo tasty!

 Good Times!

Like a boss!

It was a fabulous meal and a fabulous time. There was a musician who was playing songs from a sheet music book called "Ballads". He was great and we had a sing along for the entire meal.

Happy Birthday Kyrie!

So, I have to tell you about dessert. We opted to just eat the dessert from the meal and then come another day for ice cream.

I got the bread pudding with caramel sauce. Yeah...it was soaked in rum. And I mean, they made the cake and then put it in a vat of rum. I didn't realize this until about the fourth bite. And as someone who doesn't take spirits, I couldn't eat anymore.

DRUNK bread pudding! Lies on the menu, I would have been pulled over after eating this!

I ate about half but then Dexter and I started to feel light headed and we ate off other's plates. All in all, it was a great afternoon to think about our mothers since we couldn't be with them.

Roommate love!
