Yo Mon!


Down in the land of Bob Marley and Jamaica today, spent time wandering through the streets and highways of Port Antonio.  We got to see some wonderful flowers, and met some great folks.  But first, here's the Prince Albert that we are sailing on..out of a possible 129 or so passengers, we have 52 on board.  The staff to passenger ratio is about 2:1.  We lack for nothing.  Plus there are 31 different nationalities amongst the crew and passengers!


This morning I was out looking for the sunrise, and turned to see the rainbow behind me - once again supporting the maxim that a photographer should always look behind them.

Flowers are astounding and are what we might see at the tropical flower shop - but so much more wonderful in their natural settings.  We did see a Red-billed streamertail hummingbird that only occurs in Jamaica.



And finally, the black and white repetitiveness and the human presence were an attraction to me for this picture.

Tomorrow we are off to another part of Jamaica, a tour up the Black River and then a day at sea followed by snorkeling off an island.  Wow!
