Jamaica

So I made it here after all to Jamaica, the final wish and destination on this long adventure. I have now been here for about 5 weeks, and have enjoyed nearly all of it. Yes Jamaica can be a little rough but it is worth it. It is a place where you must just be on your toes, things move fast here, Jamaicans are creative people and quick, naturally.
This place is more than I ever expected it to be! The people are great, take a little warming up to but most people here I have found quiet nice, creative and simply unique. From Rasta to Rude Boy, people here live as they like, do what they want to "full-joy" life as they say. Instead of enjoy they fulljoy life, and it shows in their passion for music and dance, everywhere. People dance as they go and sing as they wish.
I have enjoyed many of sites in Jamaica and more than anything have just enjoyed living within a large family of Jamaicans up on Rocky Hill, the neighborhood village of a family whom has lived on the hill for nearly 150 years, 5 generations plus and has developed an community of peaceful living and unity within a country that often has a lot of troubles, violence and hard times.
I have learned an amazing amount about life seeing how Jamaicans persevere hard times in this land of beauty.
