The National Anthem of Jamaica

Here’s something a little different. I thought that since I talk about Jamaica so much, I’d put up the lyrics and music to their national anthem. Eternal Father, Bless our Land, Guide us with thy mighty hand, Keep us free from evil powers, Be our light through countless hours, To our leaders, great defender, Grant [...]

In fact, It talks about Port Antonio, a slower paced, more relaxed authentic Jamaican experience on the north coast. Here is a map of Jamaica and [...]

Jamaica From a Jamaican (Naturalized)

I recently had a comment on my post about Jamaica and mangoes. Lady Roots is from America, but moved to, and is a naturalized citizen of Jamaica. She makes and sells her own jewelry, and loves her adopted country. So I asked her what she thought people should know about Jamaica. I wanted to know [...]

Eating a Mango. Wishing for Jamaica and the Beach.

Just sitting here eating a mango, thinking about the beach and Jamaica. I’m also listening to “Underneath the Mango Tree” from Dr. No. Yeah, I’m also a big James Bond fan. The fruit in the Caribbean is something else. This mango is good, but if you eat one in Jamaica, you wouldn’t be able to [...]

Wishing I Was at the Beach. Jamaica Day Dreamin’.

What a nasty day. After having some nice days in the 80′s, it’s now 57, cloudy and rainy. Ohio sucks. I’m just jonesin’ for Jamaica right now. Of course right now in Negril its storming, but that usually lasts a few minutes or hours, then leaves everything nice and sunny. It’s also still 84 there. [...]

Dunn’s River Falls Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Places to See Before You Die.

One thing you have to experience is Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Climbing this waterfall is something else. I have done it twice, and I’m hoping to make it three next year. But it’s on the other side of Jamaica. It’s not hard to do, (although having a little strength helps) and is [...]
