An Addendum

After gathering all the pictures from everyone else's cameras, here are some more random but awesome pictures from Jamaica

Our last dinner at Peter and Mitsy's. Curry goat, potato salad, coconut rice and peas, and  avocado

Having lunch under the Mango tree

Picking coffee beans with Puts and Melek. The coffee bean is inside the berry. You can eat the berry and spit out the bean. They taste kind of like lettus

Evelyn grows the coffee, picks it, dries it,  roasts it, grinds it and then sells it

Puts showing how to grind the coffee

A visitor in our room. 

Bamboo drive. The bamboo makes a tunnel over the road that is really pretty (which you can clearly see but I felt like I had to write something)

Houses like this are all over the place. People there dont get loans to build a house, they just do it a step at a time when they have the money and they do most of the building themselves.  There are tons of half finished houses like this. People will be building for 10 or 15 years before their house is finished. Usually they finish one full room and then they all move into that room and live there while they finish the rest of the house.
