    On a day I was going from Negril to Ocho Rios we got stuck in some super heavy traffic on the highway.  We moved at a crawl for a good long while near Runaway Bay and I thought for sure it was an accident.  There are some pretty crazy accidents on Jamaican roads and I…

    The greatest thing about Jamaica is that the unexpected and sometimes crappy incidents can even turn out great, or at least not as bad as you think. At the very least you get to see something done in a way you’ve never seen before and might meet new people in the process. Here’s a picture…

    Besides the fact that they’re cuter than all other kids put together, the one thing I will say about Jamaican children is BRING CANDY!

    Okay, two truths about this place called The Native in Montego Bay – first its the least “native” Jamaican place I’ve eaten and second this is the least “local” thing I’ve done in Jamaica.
