A trip report

[Peasie]

Oh my, our beautiful Jamaica Thanks, RichD.

I love the photos of the houses in the country (will comment again on this). But for now, this is one of my favorites

Goat on A Wall

RichD, the photo you took of this house evokes many memories of my grandparents' Manchester house

Thanks for the beautiful walk down memory lane.

my childhood recollection is that this type of stonework was used mostly for churches and libraries.

Hello RichD,
I love the way that you have taken every one of these photographs. They all tell a story.
The location called Culloden is between MoBay and Lucea and has a quiet place called Cousins Cove.
They have a rustic place that you can stay and just chill out or whatever….. http://www.sweetbreezejamaica.com/

Thanks for the picture of St Hilda’s.
My sister and I spent a little time at boarding school there last century and I have never been back since.
The parish of St Ann is ideal to get off the highway and get lost driving on all the back roads.
This is just another way to discover the real Jamaica and its people.
The sweet smell of pimiento abounds in certain areas.

The pictures of Skyline Drive are so realistic and bring back happy memories
of the many nights spent parking up there when hotels rooms were too expensive.
Afterwards, as an adult I would go back and spend a few nights
at one of the most romantic places in Kingston called Ivor’s Guest House.
Then it was sold to a private person and never again opened to the public.
The views from that property were to die for.
From the Mona Dam across to the Kingston Harbour and you could even see from Port Royal to Portmore.

I could tell a story about each picture but do not want to spoil your thread.

Congratulations. You have certainly opened up my memory bank. Thank you.
