Reggae Falls

As I told you in my last post, I was planning to go on a little excursion on Sunday. Well that's exactly what I did. One of my coworkers organized a trip and cook-out at Reggae Falls, in the deep rural hills of St. Thomas. St. Thomas is located at the easternmost tip of the island just south of my home parish, Portland. Reggae Falls is actually not a natural waterfall, but a man-made damn that is no longer in use by the nation's water supplier. However, it provides the locals and the visitors alike with a place to relax and enjoy themselves. So, without further ado, here are the pictures.

I took this one after the disembark from my vehicle on the trek down to the river. As you can see it is deep in the country-side.

Aside from enjoying myself in the water, I also enjoyed a couple cups of real Jamaican Mannish Water (Goat soup made from various parts of the Ram including the head and feet) as well as some Curried Goat, Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork and Rice and Peas! To wash it all down was some good ole' Jamaican Sorrel drink mixed with some authentic Appleton Overproof Jamaican White Rum! Yuh know who fa gut did full!

I enjoyed myself, as this was a welcomed break from the stress of school, work and all the anxieties of life. Apart from work that was my weekend in a nut-shell. How was your holiday weekend?
