remember in an earlier ".On-Site Trip Report."
i mentioned my landlord's son (and family)
being on-island the same time as i was..??..
son's *wife* made an interesting comment,
regarding school supplies for her children::::>>> "..IF i'd known (the prices), i would have purchased school stuff down HERE IN JAMAICA,,, rather than back-home in Canada.."
anyhoooooooooooooooo......
in another earlier On-Site report,
i mentioned chatting with a guy in the Lucea 'Hurry-Hurry' about what his church was doing for the school children, for back-to-school.

making their shoe selections
he explained that his church purchased items for children in-need
he had 'bout 20 children in the church van

give money to a good group, church, organization etc

love & got-to-have my ginger & cinnamon bush
i was plesantly surprised that that bunch of ".various bush stuff." made it pass USofA Department of Agriculture inspection
dem said NOTHING about the stuff
..NOT a word
....tripped me OUT...!!..
the bush-stuff was given to me by my landlord's mother... for me to carry-back for tea.... 'tis all kinds of thing-ys ... whenever i grab a bunch of leaves, i NEVA know what the tea is gonna taste like.... idiot me can't recognize all dem leaves, when they all dried out like that
:-(
anyhoooooooo
tea-time is a pure surprise-time fi sure
oh
oh
oh:::>>> my landlord gave his son & son's *wife* a bunch of bush-stuff to take back too
the bush stuff was for an in-law-lady who had cancer,
and he (and others) *thought* the various bush-tea-stuffs would help her

1...coconut drops ... soooooooooo yummy
2...roasted yam .... was a whole-heap of that stuff
3...fried bonita .... many many many nice pieces

i forgot what,
but at the end of the video
she want to give me something to take back
...but i told her there was no-way i could take-back whatever the food-thing-y was that whe want me to carry ...
an aside:::>> hear my cough in the video..??..
i realized that my on-island *sickness* and that cough
were because Jamaica was working on my body
....cleaning me out
......cleaning out the from-foreign impurities & pollutions & other bad-stuff
the reason i was sick is 'cause my body was still toxic
BEFORE i left
