Of course, this blog remains committed to unearthing, covering and reinterpreting the happenings in and around Kingston, but let's face it, the energy field in the capital can be a bit overwhelming at times.
The perfect antidote is the parish of Portland (incorporating some of St Thomas) - if not the Biblical Eden, then certainly a reasonable facsimilie. From bodysurfing the foamy crests at Long Bay (maybe the best beach in the island) to enjoying a coconut in the vicinity of Reach Falls (we opted for a less crowded tributary), there's something in the almost dazzling richness of the physical environment that enables one to forget the pressing cares of 21st Century life and just....be (no metaphysics here, its just the simple act of being alive)
But, all good things end, and so our brief reverie over (I've posted a few pics) we return to the frenetic pace and cosmopolitan variety that we also need.
Yin and Yang.
enjoy all that our city has to offer, but take a break every now and then
