Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home

Thanks to all for the nice words.

Auntie M, I showed my aunt the pictures of the poinsettias growing on trees in JA and she couldn't believe it.

Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home

Kat, just a few days ago Lil Sis mentioned how she's excited to experience Negril w/you and HIPHOP (and of course her new best friend, Vi, and her Auntie M). That's gonna be 'off the chizzain' (ain't that what the kids say).

Sinco, thanks so much for reading. I swear, your name was spoken (not in a negative way, either) while we sat on the beach in Ochi.

Sammy, hearing that Voice was something that hadn't happened to me in a long time. I'm so thankful I was able to experience it again. Thanks Sis.

OcheeHeart, thank you for 'riding' w/me. I hope I did your home justice. It's beautiful. Maybe we can be neighbors someday.

RasStan, thank you for reading. I do believe that this would have been a different experience had me and Sis gone alone, but seeing Auntie M's and Auntie Angie's Ochi was the best! It's very obvious they care for this place, and I care for them very much.

Monk, sometimes I miss you and I've never met you. Is that crazy? Sometimes I imagine us walking the streets of Harlem, stopping at a bodega to get some patties, then hitting the vinyl shop to go crate digging. Note: my view of NY is an imagined one b/c I've never been there. I think we would be great friends. I feel I could learn a lot from you. Thanks for reading and for listening to my drama. Thanks for your words of encouragement.

Laurel, I'm sure your Beloved Bim would love any picture you took - from any angle! Girl, you're fire! A true sista-girl. Thanks for reading.

WandaBe, you too are a true sista-girl. Our correspondence since I've been back has made me even more sad that I didn't get the chance to meet you. Next time. Thanks for your understanding and your words of encouragement.

Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home

Swedish, thanks for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Fatti, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have been able to see Bob. I can't thank you enough for being a sista to me. BTW, I'm going to 609 tonight after class. You should come out.

Kat, I've seen one pic of Monk and let me say, that's a sexy vanilla latte grande!

Monk, just so you know, I like my latte w/whipped cream on top!

I tried corn soup for the first time and it was delicious. Matter of fact I saw the Rasta man in Ochii earlier that same day shucking the fresh corn and had no idea I would run into him that night at Priory beach and be eating soup made from that corn.

Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home

Oh yeah I knew you were talking about two different foods, but the mere mention of corn made me taste that wonderful soup.

Evan.....I miss Jamaica.
