Jamaica, Jamaica

Here are a few pictures I took while I was on vacation in Jamaica.


My Niece and I went hiking in the Dolphin Head Mountains

These Mountains extend through Westmoreland and Hanover, reaching a height of 600 meters (1,809 ft) at Birch's Hill. Dolphin Head, so called because of its appearance, is a landmark seen from far out at sea to the south). – We came across the water fall pictured here.

My Niece named this Goat Puebert, I hope that is the correct spelling of his name. She was not pleased that Puebert was locked up and she complained bitterly. My brother explained that if he was allowed to run loose, then they would have a problem with over population. She was not pleased with this explanation – after all, what’s a few extra goats?

I had to take this photo. I remember my teacher in prep school would have the girls walk with books on their heads. This was her way of helping us to improve our posture. I think this news paper vendor has perfect posture.

These tourists were not pleased about the 1.5 hours it took to travel .5 miles. I hope they had fun once the eventually got to their destination.

My brother took me to Tortuga’s. Arguable the best ice cream on the island. The facility includes a bakery for the Tortuga Caribbean Rum Cakes, a production kitchen for Calypso Gelato (Italian style ice cream) and a café and gift shop. Visitors can see the rum cakes being baked and gelato produced from the viewing windows, enjoy free samples and dine on the verandah of the Caribbean styled cottage overlooking the water. The gift shop includes a complete selection of Tortuga rums, rum cakes and other gourmet gifts and souvenirs.
