around & about Port Antonio

JeannieB, oh my. You have me smiling big over here as I read your words.

The black sand beach I saw was behind the car garage. Don’t think it was the same one your driver stopped at.

I remember passing a salvage yard not too far from the garage. You and your husband would be in your glory there. I also recall wanting to stop and get a picture of it. Don’t know why. But anyway, I had the opportunity to accompany my driver on not just one garage visit, but five total. Seems he felt I was comfortable tagging along since I never complained.

You both would have loved tagging along to the tire shop to replace a blow-out, then there was the mechanic who only services air conditioners, the windshield wiper specialist who replaced the wiper motor and the mechanic who installed a mystery part in the pouring rain. All on different days and at different locations. I say mystery part because I don’t know what the heck it was but I’m sure you would…lol. Now I ask, does it sound like Mr. O should put his car out of its misery and get a newer one??? YES he should, but he’s dedicated to his companion of 17 years and refuses to part with her. He even has a body person who cuts out the rust spots and welds flat pieces of tin patches to cover the holes. No doubt you and your husband would have enjoyed every minute of those “quick stops”.

Yes, PLEASE seize and capture every moment while you are there. Do check out what draws your attention and approach it. Port Antonio is the kind of place that invites you to get to know her.

In real time....as in today...Tuesday, September 20, 2011....I have the blues sooooo desperately in need of being on this beach right about now....

*sigh*

I would walk to the edge and cast my worries upon the waves so that they could be carried out to sea, sink and be eaten by sea urchins.

Ocean was active. Not agitated as it would be prior to a storm, but lively as though it was urging me to come in and play or maybe just happy to see me.

I love the ocean view from any point in Jamaica. I can depend on receiving the calm I seek whenever I gaze at it.
