more jamaica



some more pics.

also, some jamaican ways to announce (in bars, shops, etc.) that no credit will be given to customers:

'MR CREDIT IS A BAD DISEASE. BUT DON'T WORRY, YOU WON'T GET IT HERE'

'NO MORE MR CREDIT. HE DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON HIS WAY IN FROM THE JAZZ FESTIVAL'

Jamaica

by the way. this is my getaway from everything having to do with war, lebanon, last summer, etc. it's working!



at miami airport. the immigration people weren't as friendly as this guy and had a lot of intelligent questions about the lebanese, syrian, jordanian and egyptian stamps in my passport (my favourite: "so what is it that you DO, ma'am?", or maybe: "so how was the middle east, ma'am?"). this of course after the iris and fingerprint scans. nice.




downtown kingston is scary!!

lynette, owner of coffee fields, runner of whitfield hall guest house, generally the boss of the show


yes. at long bay.


at dicky's - a small rastafarian restaurant. please note the carefully folded napkins with ganja motif.


a "man trap" from the days of slavery. oh my.
