around & about Port Antonio

I turn to him…

”ohmygoodness, this is what you see every day!”
“Yes, me and Mrs. are blessed.”

Reading about the history of Nanny, the Maroons, the Colonel and Moore Town is what prodded my interest to visit this part of Jamaica. Seeing what I saw and meeting who I met today infused my heart with the sure desire to stay.

We’ve taken up enough of our host’s time so we gave thanks for the hospitality and bid our goodbyes.

I take one more look upon the vastness from the arched opening enclosing the verandah before turning to head down the 4 concrete steps leading to the yard.



“You like it here?”
“No, sir. I want to live here.”

His smiles lets me know he understands.

“When you return to Jamaica, come back to visit again. I want you to meet my wife. She will be happy to talk to you.”
“I promise, I’ll be back.”

The walk to the car was slow as I try to take in as much of the natural beauty that flourishes in Moore Town Jamaica.

God willing…I’ll be back…
