Yesterday a bunch of us pcvs got together to celebrate Benjee's birthday at his house. I am so proud of Benjee because he has already integratd so well into his community. Everyone in town seems to know him and like him, and he can speak patios so well!
So we got together with him and friends from his town to jerk chicken, roast/fry bread fruit, drink rum punch and celebrate. I must say the chicken was probably the best I've had since I've been in Jamaica. Oh and one of the girls made carrot cake from scratch!! It was fabulous!
The evening wasn't complete until Benjee got floured. In Jamaica it is a tradition that on your birthday your friends and family pour flour all over you when you least expect it. And if your friends are really cool they will dump red stripe or some other beverage all over you first so its nice and messy! Benjee obviously has really cool friends, hehe! Love you Benjee!
Here are a few pictures from my trip to Port Antonio a few weeks ago. One of my pc friends and I walked out from the coast to a little island where you can go cliff jumping into crystal clear water. We did a little snorkling too and my friend tried a hand at some spear fishing. We didn't catch anything the experience was awseome and I couldn't have asked for a nicer day. There was even a rainbow that arched over the sky at one point during the afternoon. Gorgeous!
