I wrote about this experience a long time ago but it was lost in some technical difficulties I had on the blog last year. But I just thought of it and really wanted to rewrite and share it again. There are no photos of the actual medicine man and surrounding area, it just didn’t feel appropriate to whip out a camera. Medicine Man A couple years ago we were driving around in some back country in Westmoreland, on our way to Darliston. Our driver lived in the area and was familiar with it and...
I’m heading to Jamaica in the morning so I’ll leave you all with this cute and fun post! In February I had the opportunity to go up to Chalky Hill, St Ann to visit some family of one of my best girls. It was a hilarious afternoon with all the kids up there! We didn’t have to do anything but sit back and be entertained by them! Every time I pulled out the camera they were all over it…dancing, playing, fighting for airtime! LOL what a riot. This little one, Shaneel was an...
As I’ve mentioned before, my favorite people in Jamaica are the kids. Even moreso, Jamaican school children in uniform. I LOVE that kids have to wear uniforms to school there! Kids in the distance just noticing we're taking pictures This day I was walking along a quiet road in the hills of St Mary when I came upon a primary school. I went into a little store first to buy a soda and then came and stood behind the chainlink fence to watch the kids play. Jamaican kids will always start off...
Not much to say about this video except that it’s one of my favorite ones I ever took! I went to the library in Ocho Rios one day and these kids were just playing and singing in the yard right beside the library. I pulled out my camera and they didn’t seem to mind! You will see and hear this a lot in Jamaica….school kids singing these kinds of songs. It’s so pleasant to hear and fun to watch. The tiny girl in the middle makes me laugh!
Once again I was going through lots of old pictures I have and found these ones that make me laugh. In Jamaica and with black people in general, I notice how meticulous they are with their hairstyles. I think it’s awesome some of the wicked styles they come up with. But in between styling days there can sure be some awesome afro’s! Here’s a friend of mine going from afro to nice style. Getting hair done in Jamaica Jamaican hair twists Now here are the polar opposites to getting...
On our way back from Nine Mile we decided to stop at a friend’s roadside bar in Coultart, near Claremont in the parish of St Ann. The girl I was traveling with used to live in this area and the bar was owned by her friend, nicknamed “Steaka”. Picture of Steaka Steaka has quite the little village in this spot – there’s a little bar, a shop and several other little buildings that I didn’t know if they were in use. But every structure standing within the area was...
This is just a fun post since I was going through my pictures since 2003 and started to notice a pattern! There is no shortage of over-friendly, affectionate Jamaicans! From young to old, they just wanna spread some love LOL! This youngster was too cute. His name is Fabian and he had to work to get this kiss! I have a whole series of photos leading up to this accomplishment. This next one is a police officer friend of mine whom I stayed with in Savanna-La-Mar. Not sneaky at all….I don’t...
