There's something Magical about the parish of portland. If I had to pick one other parish to travel to outside of where I live it would win from the other twelve, no contest. The assignment was visiting Moore Town, a maroon village which was once home of Nanny of the Maroons, Jamaica's only heroine.
It felt like a while since I was in the field doing something other than the usual Kingston and St Andrew beat so the second I saw an opportunity to take on something in deep rural St Thomas I jumped on it. A community I've never visited called Georgia, The definition of Quaint and Quiet. The journey was fairly lengthy and the roads quite terrible however on arriving on location and meeting a lively 102-year-old gentleman it was worth it.
March 10, 2020, was a very interesting day and not one I'll soon forget on my way to the office fresh off of one of the most amazing vacations I had in February, I get a phone call, "A Chinese restaurant has exploded in New Kingston do you have anyone available?" As I typically drive that direction to get to work, I take it and head in.
