wow, what a great description and micro history of accompong! I have yet to venture to cockpit country and it is on my short list of a long list of things to do in Jamaica. The history of the place really gets me--when you were talking about sitting under the tree, inexplicable tears came to my eyes. I feel such a connection to Jamaican history and culture--I wouldn't be surprised if I had a previous life there. Or maybe just more of a future there here in this life. I have been so enjoying your report--you have a great ability to bring places and sights right to the reader--niceness!
