goldilocks, it was worth every dollar!! Huge and super sweet. Every time I think about that pine my mouth waters. Thanks for tagging along.
Hi billndonna! Thanks for the props and please stick around for there is a lot more on the way. I’m just getting started.
For the moment I forgot about my food. Forgot about the last two days of travelling in the sky and on land. Forgot about the bills I didn’t pay, the calls I didn’t return or the plants I didn’t water. My poor plant by the wall unit. Forgot about leaving without issuing the usual threats to my son if anything happens to my car.
For the moment I was rid of most of my cares and worries. It felt good. Finally my mind, soul and now “body” are in Jamaica and I can reconnect with pure contentment for the next 2+ weeks.
For the next 2+ weeks I plan to “rock so”.
The jerk pork was a little dry. I should have stuck with the routine and gotten jerk sausage. Was never disappointed with the jerk sausage. The rum, however, was perfect.

Thanks SPARKLE...it's always so tranquil in the evenings. That’s why it’s my first place to be and linger.
The evening was entering into night quickly. Too quick, but, I tell myself, don’t fret…it’s just the beginning. Plenty more nights you will be spending in this magnificent place.
Over to the right…on the Boston field I notice tents in the distance. That’s right, the Boston Jerk Festival is tomorrow.
“Do you want to ride over to see them set up?”
“No, I’m fine. But I do want to go tomorrow. Do you?”
“No. I take you. What time do you want me to pick you up?”
“Wow, you don’t want to go?? Why not? What are you going to be doing?? Never mind. I will be ready around 3:00.”
“Too expensive! A thousand dollars to get in is too much.”
“I guess…maybe…how about I cover half your entrance fee?”
“Let me think about it. I will let you know in the morning.”
“You don’t want to go do you?”
“No.”
“Can we get some soup? I can’t eat this meat, it’s too dry.”
I use his phone to call momz. Seemed the time was right to hear her voice and let her know all is well here in Portland.
Yes…tonight all is well here in Jamaica.
After a trip into town for a large chicken soup, to the market for beverage needs…water, red stripes, rum, club soda…I decide to go in for the night.
“Vi, if you aren’t ready for bed, you can ride with me. I gone do one or two trips.”
“Okay…wait…no. No thanks. I think I’ll stay in and get some rest. It’s going to be a long and busy 2+ weeks.”
“Okay. I see you tomorrow at 2:00.”
“Alright. Good night.”
“Good night.”
I can't wait for tomorrow.....Jerk fest time!!!!!!!!!
it's tomorrow sammyb! LOL festival soon come
Awesome vi. We loved the jerk sausage at Boston, pork and chicken. In fact after getting instructions how it's made while there, my wife has made it at home - deeeelicious. I remember one person in particular at Boston beach. He was a younger guy, maybe mid 20's, very good looking (like most Jamaicans). He was a lifeguard/surf instructor there. What I remember about him is just how genuinely friendly he was, we had a good conversation. He had a younger brother that was out surfing as we talked, who was very good. Can't recall his name though. We ran into him in Port Antonio one night, he clearly remembered us and we had a short conversation. Just a nice guy.
Would you mind telling us about your driver - how you met, the cost (if that's ok), etc?
