We are an amazing culture!

We are known all over the world for our Food, our Music, our Dance, our Beaches,
our Beauty and our Art.  Our Art work is featured mostly in Kingston. Tourist are
generally a bit apprehensive to venture into Kingston, our Capital.  Understandable,
as the news around the world is not very encouraging. However, when I travel, I do
tend to take guided tours as not only do I learn and see so much but I am a lot more
comfortable...Life!

I met a lady, Karen,  who has recently started a company, hoping to open not only
our tourist eyes to a wonderful 'Cultural Experience.' in Kingston but also our fellow
Jamaicans. This is so exciting.... http://www.jaculture.com/ ....Congrats!

But...Life is truly a journey to be enjoyed as were it not for Karin I would not have met Karen...Smile...the two K's...!!

Karin is on her own path http://www.yardedge.net/
An update on The Happenings in Jamaica! As you will all notice we will be eating
our way through next week...yes...It's Restaurant Week, which  has now expanded
to many Restaurants on the North Coast..More of our culture for visitors to enjoy.

Spanish Cove, Runaway Bay, Jamaica

As a Quilter, we are constantly looking for ideas amongst nature.
On the beach of Spanish Cove, I see a small pile of stones,
with different shapes, sizes and textures,
each with its own beauty, each unique.
Not dissimilar to Life...

Enjoy!

We spent the weekend at our cottage deliberating over all our potentials for improvements.

Here the fisherman comes ashore bringing the 'catch' of the day.

Fishermen live in their own world.
Out to sea at nights they go
with a lantern that twinkles from afar
maybe they will catch, maybe they will not
it matters not - tomorrow a new day dawns

The fisherman caught Lobster!
We bought some Lobster which was cooked to perfection by our chef, Pauline.
Lobster, in Jamaica, has its own distinct taste.
It is a 'must have' for our visitors.

Enjoy!
