I love that you have pretty flowers in your hair. Thanks for sharing your trip, even though I live in Jamaica, not like I've been everywhere. This gives me ideas of new places to explore.

Thanks for your kind words TSmall. I actually picked up the hibiscus-behind-the-ear thing from my sister. She carries it off well and I thought I'd give it a try.

There's just so much to see on the little Rock. It's just amazing.

Thanks for the info on the BM sculpture MGee. I agree with you, the second one doesn't do him justice either.

Yeah..not much traffic at the Gardens, which I guess is what adds to it's serenity. Glad I was able to make it and share it here.

Next stop Dalvey where family awaits. It was good to see the place where I grew up once more; familiar faces and some not so familiar ones as a new generation is up coming. The great thing about country life is the easy living and simplicity of things. All the elders tend to remember who you are; the comments are endless of how big I've gotten and the stories ensue of when I was little.

My nephew



Of course the most important reason for the whole trip was my sister’s graduation from her nursing program.

Another great thing about the country is the vegetation. Something it seems country ppl take for granted until they have to go to town and buy everything, instead of going to the backyard or up a bush to pick such and such.

See if you can name the trees below.

I was expecting to see &quot;the reading of God's holy word.&quot; You're a real churchgirl

Lovely pics again. <span style="font-style: italic">Enchanted</span> looks wonderful, and I did see one of their ads promoting the place as a must see for eco-tourists. Since I didn't get the chance to make it there, I'm happy to tag along though I would have loved to share the adventure.

I stopped by my uncle's place only to find him preparing this wonderful treat. Take a guess. (Fiya a battam, fiya a tap and hallelujah inna miggle.)



Puss in boots (my Uncle’s kitty)



And so my journey ends. It was a great time well spent, most importantly with family.

BOAL. Hey, I can't get rid of the church even if they paid me to do so. Hopefully one of these days you'll be able to make a visit there. Your company would have been the icing on the cake.
