The traffic behind us on the two lane road

There are great inequalities between the rich and poor in Jamaica

The famous cottonwood hanging tree. Many slaves were executed for their part in the 1831 Samuel Sharpe rebellion

St. Mary’s Anglican Church served as a slave hospital even before it was a church

Looking down from St. Mary’s on the elementary school below

Teachers and their young students

Goats seem to wander freely along side roads in Jamaica

One of the roads we drove over 

We rode in the back of this vehicle with four others

We stopped to sample the sweet Jamaican oranges

Reaching a small river in the rainforest

Thick bamboo 

Walking along the turquoise river

Reflecting pool

A stream that flows into the river

The falls—man made

At the Chukka Jungle Camp where zip lining and river tubing were offered. There was a gift shop and a jerk chicken restaurant

How many shades of green are there?

Verdant foliage of the rainforest

Ruins of a sugar plantation destroyed in the 1831 slave uprising

On the ship in the afternoon, the Jamaican Ministry of Culture presented a two hour program of music and dance
