Montego Bay state of Mind


A languid common-ness. That was my first impression on setting foot in Montego Bay, Jamaica, one November afternoon. Cars zipped by. Pedestrians strolled at that easy, unhurried, 'no problem' pace. School children in uniform walked by in twos and threes. They could have been from anywhere in the Caribbean. From one island to the next, the rhythm always seemed to be the same. Easy does it. But Montego Bay though with its history, the colonial architecture, the market place, the waterfront, the food, the people, all represent a world worth discovering. Stay tuned.
