Last few days and general observations
Having all the wedding stuff over was a relief. I wish this trip included some stories of travels into the Blue Mountain or Bob Marley's house/Gravesite, the local markets for shopping - There simply was not enough time for it for us. The most ...
Yea for Bob Marley!
February 6th is (was) Bob Marley's birthday. So, Happy Birthday Mr. One Love! I've noticed that a lot of my students have been assigned projects about Bob Marley this week. Coincidence? I think not... Since I help kids with their homework I too ...
Still here
... than it is in real life. What I had remembered had become an idealized version of American reality. So the bottom line is: Jamaica is pretty cool, and America was not as cool as I rememberd it. What does that mean for our intrepid PCVL? Well, it ...
OMG - Let the Jamaican Adventures Begin
Disembarking off the plane and feeling that awesome warm and humid air was very refreshing! Grabbed a cab, stopped at a market for a few supplies for the room and got settled in. Our place really reminds both of us of Sunset apartments in Phuket. Nice to ...
Up on the roof..
... an awesome atmosphere!!! We didn't win unfortunately but it was amazing fun! After the tournament about 20 of us set off for a weekend in Montego Bay and we stayed in Verney's Guest House right on the top of the hill (not good walking up there once you're ...
Golfing at Tryall
Today I went golfing with my dad and Harrison. I haven't played in two years and they go all the time.... It was interesting. I almost quit after the first hole cause i took about 10 strokes just to get close to the green. But after that I settled down ...

Almost Halloween!
... Lauren's house. From there we walked to Paula's house in Bouge Village. For those of you not so familiar with the geography of Montego Bay I'll explain... It was an hour's walk, down the highway, with no sidewalk, with rush hour traffic inching by, and ...
Montego Bay, Jamaica
Our first stop was too short!!! We got off the ship at about 8a.m. and had to be back by 5p.m. There was little time to enjoy this faboulous ...
Jamaica
... there, I was definitely going to hike the waterfalls at Ocho Rios. Let's just say, I keep my word. Upon arriving in port in Montego Bay, my dad and I attempted to find some other people with whom to share a taxi with to Ocho Rios since we hadn't booked a ...
You'll have that catchy tune in your head all day
Montego Bay, Jamaica Mark and I had spent two absolutely wonderful holidays in Ocho Rios, northern Jamaica, with friends in the 1990's. So we have nothing but happy memories of this beautiful island (apart from our villa being robbed on our final day - ...
There and Back Again
... It was a great night, and we spent hours and hours just talking. The next day we left for Kingston, but got held up in Runaway Bay due to flooding. The water was almost 2 feet deep on the road for over a mile and a half. Because the "Highway" is only ...

First Impression of Jamaica
... guys like to say "Yea Mon!" "No problem!" with the heavy Jamaican twang. The north shore area of Mo'Bay (Montego Bay) is experiencing a major development boom. Giant high-rise resorts and shopping malls have sprang up overnight around the golf course and ...
Close of Service
... flying back and forth over the next few months, so I'm not so worried about stagnation and post Peace Corps melancholy. Jamaica has been pretty amazing. As I look back I realize that, actually, I did a good job! Imagine ...
Thanksgiving Soon Come...
Things continue to go well here in MoBay. Last Friday we had our Youth Meeting in St. Ann's. It was so nice to see everyone and spend the night at a hotel with A/C and Hot water. Seeing everyone together, though, really emphasized how few of my group ...
Work Finish!
... are getting presents from an NGO that can hardly pay staff, and they have the nerve to complain about them! Oh, well.... thats Jamaica. I'm going to be off work from tomorrow until the 9th. Here's what I expect in the next few weeks... I'm going ...
Along the lines of FATE again.
... itself! July 2006, a friend of mine at work tells me a local nightclub here is giving away a trip to Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay. I've always wanted to get to Sumfest, its a HUGE reggae/dancehall concert over a period of days. So I ...
