Jamaican Roads: Spur Tree Video

Jamaican Roads
It can be extremely difficult to drive on Jamaican roads, at times it will seem as if you are playing a video game, so here are a few tips to help you along. Please make sure to read carefully.
- Stay on the correct side of the road; Jamaicans drive on the left.
- Honk horn when going around blind turns; this will let oncoming drivers know that you are coming.
- Look out for animals; such as dogs, goats, and possible cows…mostly on country roads.
- Look out for pedestrians; Jamaicans use the public transport system and walk a lot.
- Don’t panic.
- Be courteous; you may need to make room for other drivers due to narrow, winding roads and obstacles, such as pot holes.
- Buy a map.
- Don’t be afraid to ask locals directions, they are very helpful.
- And if possible don’t drive at night; it can be tough because of not knowing the roads well enough, also it does get dark and oncoming car lights are blinding, making it hard to see.
- Show respect for the road; keep your eyes on the road and wear seatbelts.
- Pull over in a safe spot for sight seeing…you will know where to park.
- Pull over and enjoy the food on the side of the road…hint boiled corn and peanut porridge are the best.
- Drive at your own pace.
- Ignore taxi drivers; Jamaicans drive fast.
- Relax and enjoy the scenery.
Now, there are several major and local car rental agencies on the island. Here are some tips:
- Car rental agencies are located at each airport and they make it easy for you to use their services.
- Local car rental agencies are all over the island; and will take you to and from the airport.
- Do your homework…hint google.
- Book ahead of time, if possible.
- Ask for discounts, especially if you are Jamaican.
- Don’t worry, Jamaica does take care of her visitors.
Relax and enjoy the ride, and when you get home boast about driving in Jamaica…it is a big deal!

For Jeff
A Mother’s Love Look to me now, This is where you will find her. Look to me now, This is where you will be comforted. I am her; She is me. She is here and everywhere Inhale and feel her love flowing through you. Look to me now, Remember her and smile Remember and laugh Remember and cry She is here and everywhere. She will always be with you. Look to me now, To find her. Look to me and know she is never gone. Remember her And blanket yourself in her love and warmth Remember and be at peace Because she will always be here… For you. Look to me now, And know that I am sorry. Look to me and know, Each tear cried is a memory shared And that memory is never lost nor forgotten. Look to me now, And know A mother’s love is never gone
A moment in time

Lovers’ Leap
In the Caribbean Sea, in Jamaica, in St. Elizabeth, on the south coast is where Lovers’ Leap is found. Lovers’ Leap is 1,700 feet above sea level…a sheer drop to the Caribbean Sea below. From truth, to myth, to legend, this is where Jamaica’s version of Romeo and Juliet took place. This loving, but desperate action took place in the 18th century. Their names were Mizzy and Tunkey, and they were very much in love. According to legend, slave master, Chardley, wanted Mizzy for himself, and decided to sell her lover to another plantation. They decided to run away… rather than be apart. Chased to this enormous and dangerous cliff with nowhere else to go…they hugged each other and jumped.

Devon House
Devon House was built by George Stiebel, Jamaica’s first black millionaire, and was declared a national monument in 1990. The area was known as “Millionaire’s Corner” at Trafalgar and Hope Road. Devon House is a historical site and now serves as a museum, park, shopping, and dining center for visitors and locals.
Born in the 1820s to a Jamaican housekeeper and a German Jew, due to being mixed race George Siebel endured harsh treatment from his schoolmates. He left the classroom at fourteen years old to become a carpenter’s apprentice. At nineteen, George played a big part in reconstructing the famous Ferry Inn, located between Kingston and Spanish Town. In the 1840s, this young man with his dreams and visions, entered into the business world, where he encountered the vast world and even more hardship. He was ship wrecked where he lost everything, except the money that was tied to his waist. He voted never to return to Jamaica until he restored his wealth, he then went to Venezuela where he worked and made all this wealth back, then he returned to Jamaica.
Devon House is now a prominent tourist spot. There is now the ‘I scream’ palor…which one should be careful because it is so good and huge. My advise buy one scoop. It is also a beautiful place to get married and the grass is a famous area for lovers. Devon House is a monument to those Jamaicans who struggled to make Jamaica what it is now, a place to be at peace. Come mon…check it out the vibes, it’s a must see.

Mandeville’s Courthouse
Just looking at the pictures one can tell this is a very old building, offering traces of Old England. Built in 1817 in the Jamaican Georgian style, a two storey structure, the Mandeville Courthouse stands as a national monument. Slave labor and limestone were use to build ‘this bastion of justice’. The courthouse is the oldest building in Mandeville and is still being use today.
