Moving to Jamaica

There is no Beauty like it!

The sun shall not smite you by day
Nor the moon by night

There's no place I've been that exceeds the beauty of this island Jamaica. It has the stereotypical tropical lushness and colour that we dream about.  And no place is so maddening, so aggravating, so bitter-sweet - leading my friend Patrick to say, "Jamaica is like the scotch bonnet pepper. Spicy, exciting, flavourful, then it burns you!".

Sunset & Evening Star &
One clear call for me

And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea 
                                                      Tennyson

I walk the quiet sands; the sea ripples overmy toes 
sna i am at peace with the world

Yet I remember an old man from Tunisia who must have moved to Jamaica very long ago because it seems he was part of the background when I grew up as a child. Uncle Mike Azan, who at his 100th birthday party told Andy 'I have lived all over the world and Jamaica is the best plae to live - if you know how to live here'.

Andy & I love it! but then we are originally from here.  So now here I am, you say.I'm as grounded an individual as you're likely to find. I am culturally aware and as sensitive to the fact that I don't know; I am not the 'ugly American' - what next?  Well the depth of your pockets.
