Starfish Trelawny Beach Resort Falmouth

... index there was a little steep, so as soon as the DJ arrived with his police siren sound effects and ruined the atmosphere we generally wandered elsewhere...<br><br>Jamaicans are without doubt the friendliest people we have met on this trip. So many times people just came up and shook your hands and just wanted to chat. There were never any hassles, we never felt threatened, and most conversations ended with them asking if we wanted a taxi, bangles ...

... br><br>Be sure to introduce yourself to restaurant manager Donovan Gordon. Mr. Gordon has become a fixture at this resort for 15+ years, not only a close friend, but a shining example of the caring, friendly nature of the people of Jamaica.

... with the Jamaican equivalent of the FAA; that'd be a spot of bother, or... it could draw some kind of attention from the other people on the beach; but... <br> <br>...the Thing, the bug, the virus, whatever- it's still inside me. Sores aren't healing and new ones are opening up. Tender tissues are swelling up in sensitive places. What's in that water any way? Is it even safe to swim in a third world country so close to a city with its ...

... the worst virus the world has ever seen, Ebola, still lives in some cave in Africa, just biding its time... in expectation. What's found its home in me? Whatever it is, it's wicked, splitting me apart, twisting my view of the world to its own diseased perspective "as all seems yellow to the jaundiced eye." But I've already had HepA, so I should be knock-ulated for life. No matter, the important thing now is to stay warm, drink lots of ...

... interesting, if busy and twelve hour days are the norm - sure nothing new there. A bit like Digifone in the good(bad) old days - I sometimes feel like I'm in a bit of a timewarp.

I arrived on the island of Jamaica in poor shape due to a newly-broken collar bone, which I was ...

... is currently building a new, larger road. Nobody has any idea when it will be finished. We could see the ocean on our left for almost the whole ride to the lab. We passed through various small towns and finally turned off the road and passed through a guarded gate and arrived at the Lab. We stayed in dorm-style rooms with two sets of bunk beds and a built in desk for each of us. We had our own closets and our own deck that overlooked the coral reef and the Carribean Sea.

This weekend was the annual Volleyball tournament in Falmouth. Last year I played on a team of all girls (Jess and I were the best ones, so you can guess at the skill level), and we were soundly beaten by the Jamaican Defense Force team. This year we had a MoBay team, and the tournament was divided into the "fun" league (all Peace Corps), and the "serious" league (all Jamaicans). The MoBay team didn't do too ...
