My experience in Jamaica

13 years ago

From Alaska I was wring a pen pal and was invited to Port
Antonio, where I met a man who took me to the Rio Grande Valley where I
I bought 10.5 acres in Portland, adjacent from the Blue and John Crow Mtn National Park in 1989 where I built a cabin, bamboo kitchen, etc and there are 2 beautiful springs w/ water falls
and cool pools. Since then I have been there 6 times and have planted many many coconut and fruit trees, like chocolate, jack fruit, mango, breadfruit, citrus,
star apple, cinnamon, red apple, etc. and plan to return soon to begin the construction of my lodge and guest house. Jamaica nice but a hard nut to crack, but it so beautiful and fascinating in so many ways, especially in knowing its people, flora and fauna. And living in the country and growing your own veggies, and fruits is a great plus and w/o rent you can easily supplement your diet with the other things that you need. Its so wonderful to wake up and roast a breadfruit for breakfast and take a shower in the waterfall. Anyway, you may want to visit Jamaska Aisha some day, where its very private and peaceful and one thing for sure, one time in the big pool or the water fall, ya nah wana lefi mon, you won't want to leave.
All the best to your dreams;
