This is the scenery from my aunt's house on top of the hill.
It was great to go back to Jamaica after not being there for 5 years. I spent 3 glorious weeks in December 2006 there. I got a chance to see family and friends that I did not see in a long time. I did not want to come back home when it was time to leave. I knew that I was going to stay there to live and then reality set in.
My uncle and I went together and we stayed at the Point Village Resort in Negril, an all inclusive resort along the 7 mile beach. My brother, Dwight is the Entertainment Manager. He is a triple threat; he sings, dances and acts and writes and produces stage plays. So you know I had fun and more fun. I stayed at the hotel instead of staying at someone's home because I wanted to see how the tourists experience Jamaica. I like the tourist life better because I like to live in luxury.
The greatest thing about that trip was the healing of my uncle. God used a humble unassuming woman with no formal training to massage all the bloodcloths from my uncle's legs. Plus we got a herbalist who gave him all kinds of natural herbs to drink. He started to stand up for brief moments and even walk a little. That was the beginning of his recovery. In another post I will update you on his progess today. Very exciting stuff.

Jamaica is a beautiful place and the people are extremely friendly. The food is great too. I was really overdoing it on the food. The sunset is out of this world.
