Hope Garden, Hope Zoo, Port Royal Jamaica prt1
Where do I begin.... My time in Jamaica this month was primarily spent in Kingston. I didn't really plan my trip this way but then again I didn't really plan per se. The majority of the activities I set out to do just did not happen. One of the joys of staying with family! You are always on someone else's time :) Regardless I did get a chance to visit the Hope Gardens and Hope … [Read more...]

Welcome to Jamrock
Snapped this in the airport on Monday :) I've landed in Jamaica the land of green, black and gold :) The weather is great. Hot but with a nice breeze.

Connecticut shooting, Gun laws, RIP dear children :(
I have no words for whats going on in Connecticut right now. But I can't say that I am surprised. Affluent neighborhood + guns that are easily accessible + emotionally unstable 20-something white male = ...
