RE: Reflecting on my recent visit to Jamaica

in Reflections2 years ago

Interesting read.

It's unfortunate about the crime and your feeling of disconnect with the country. I can understand that from what you said in the post.

That cool that you met the Bob sled team. I liked the Disney movie on that when I was a kid.

It always amazes me when a 5 word phrase can get translated into into a 30 word paragraph in another language. 😂

Sort:  

It was cool to meet the guys. They were mannerly gentle giants. Real underdogs of sportsmen in Jamaica. I had them at the resort for a press crew. They had their sleigh with them. I ran with them and jumped in just for fun.😂
When they relayed the stories of all the hurdles they had to cross to get there, the recipient they got worldwide for the island boys on ice was inspiring.
For a small country, there's so much going for it, which is ruined by the government or lack of it.

It is a very inspiring story. Definitely an underdog story.
