Adventure Cove Villas Jamaica

... one of our group of about 30 people and the only one who did not have to wear a hair net and hard hat because he was short enough to get around the caves without hitting his head on the ceiling. Our tour guide picked up on Jarod's shirt as an Indiana Jones t-shirt and tried to call upon the brave adventurer to demonstrate how safe the escape route to Runaway Bay was. Jarod didn’t bite, but it was fun to watch the guide tease him. The tour took us down into the mountain ...

... were really keen for sales. We just bought some sunscreen and came back on board the ship. We all went back to the H2O zone and enjoyed the relatively empty pool area.<br><br>It was another incredibly hot day so it was very relaxing to just kick back and hang out by the pool. Now THIS is a holiday!!<br><br>After dinner we put the girls to bed and went watch the show.

... pay for hundreds of Jamaicans! <br><br>It is time to fulfill the true mandate of change &#8211; a change for the better. I find it hard to accept that the ministry saw it a priority to ensure that Mr. Henry&#8217;s home is fit to host functions when there are so many other available venues that were actually built for that purpose.<br><br>&#8220;Before God and all mankind, I pledge the love and loyalty of my heart, the wisdom and courage of my mind, the ...

Host Family came back from Florida last sunday. They brought a ton of canned food...things like spaghetti sauce. Ive never seen any jamaican eat spaghetti so I wonder what it's for. There daughter and son in law, Hilary and Tony, came back with them. Hilary is a nurse and told me that they would be having a health clinic at the school all week. Which is pretty awesome since I am supposed to be setting up health clinics ...

Ocho is an interesting city, divided by a straight line, on one side (from the center to the port), relatively safe area day and night, upscale boutique, restaurants and on the other side, the chaos and not so safe area. There are a few hundreds meters of beachfront.

... spear fishing being illegal in the Caymans and the fact that it was supposedly 'out of season' for lobster, I took nothing with me such as a 'goody bag', a tickling stick, snare or even a glove. We tied up in sixty five feet of water, (20 meters for you young'uns) just before the 'wall' which went down six hundred feet or so. The water really was crystal clear as we descended the ...

... cane; what remains is called "bopus" and is used as fuel for heating the sugar and molasses, or sometimes the residue is used for making chipboard. With today's methods, it is possible to get about 90% of the sugar out of the cane. The sugar and molasses are mixed and heated to produce "wet sugar". The sugar portion is separated out and sold as brown sugar, while the molasses part is fermented, then distilled for anywhere from three to 30 years to ...

... A lot of sitting around waiting, but at least that sitting around has been in a different apartment that has internet and a/c and hot water (did I mention that he is Jamaican and living on a different level than my Peace corps friends?). Still doing PCVL things... the new group is set to arrive in a few weeks. I'm really excited to be working with them.

This was a horrible nasty little place I hope to never see again. When you walk down the street, it is filthy and taxi drivers nag at you and then throw insults when you refuse to take a taxi. I Came. I Saw. I LEFT! One almost saving feature of this hideous place was swimming in the water, but even that turned south when I felt what I believe to be a sewer pipe under my feet.
