I took some pictures while driving on the Palisadoes Road on the way to the airport. The Palisadoes strip (tombolo in geographical terms) is the narrow strip of land which separates the Kingston Harbour from the Caribbean sea.

At one time there were sand banks on the left, however they have been eroded, so now work is in progress to create a more substantial barrier to protect the roadway.

I must apologize for the past few weeks during which I've been a bit busy, and haven't been posting regularly. Today's post is one of the Caribbean Cement factory in Rockfort, Kingston. The factory produces cement from local materials mined in the area, and this cement has been used to construct the majority Jamaica's buildings.

Here is one of the sculptures in the garden of the Olympia Complex in Papine. This complex houses an art store, a gallery and apartments. The cool thing is that the apartments are actually in the gallery. More to come...

Yes we are still in Jamaica! I took this picture on a trip to the Hollywell National Park in upper St. Andrew. Despite the tropical climate it can still get quite cold in the mountains ( well cold for me anyways). While the park is only about an hours drive into the mountains it feels like a different world.

Happy New Year to everyone!! I've been a bit busy so this is my first post for the year, and it is of the Tastee Restaurant in Papine. Tastee made famous for it's patties, has been around for decades, and is one of the most popular local fast food establishments in Jamaica.
Above is a picture of a Jamaican Patty. The patty consists of a flaky flour crust stuffed with a variety of fillings, the most popular ones being beef, chicken or vegetables.

Here is a look at the Breakfast Menu at Tastee. It includes some typical breakfast items, but also a traditional Jamaican favourite, Escoveitch Fish with Festival. Escoveitch Fish is typically Snapper dusted with flour and fried in oil. It is served with a pickle of vinegar, onions, carrots and other vegetables. The Festival is a long fried cake of flour and cornmeal which goes well with the fish.

When we talk about apples in Jamaica, we're usually talking about Otaheite (Malay) Apples, like the ones in the picture below. Here our tree has just started bearing, so hopefully we'll be able to get a few before the birds do.
