I have seen hummingbirds in my backyard in DC area. They are fascinating!

IMO the UWI campus is even more beautiful than when I was there as a student. Lots more buildings, of course, and everything seems beautifully laid out.
A few views of the historical aqueduct around UWI Mona campus. Both the chapel and the aqueduct have been named as Jamaica's National Monuments. The aqueduct once carried water from the Hope River to the former Mona sugar plantation.

Some final photos of UWI...
I love mountains particularly the mountains around Kingston. When the pressure of exams on campus was unbearable I would walk around Ring Road early in the mornings and look up to the mountains.
When pressure tek mi, mi used to quote di Bible1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from theLORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeththee will not slumber . 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep . 5 TheLORD is thy keeper : the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

And now some food pictures
I ate out only one evening with my sister for light fare and a cocktail at Devon House.
I ate seafood, fruit, and vegetables every day. I had ONE PATTY and it was in the departure lounge at NWIA. One evening one of my mother's neighbors knocked on her door and brought a nice pumpkin from his St. Thomas farm. I used a half to make a stuffed pumpkin filling it with cabbage, saltfish, bok choi, seasonings. It was deliciousHere it is on the way to the oven

i was in jamaica when the natural history society was trying desperately (and unsuccessfully, in the end) to prevent development on top of long mountain (?), which had unique natural forests and biodiversity.
UWI is a great place, it's too bad it's so far from everyting.
nice pics.
