Beach Houses and Fruit, OH yes!



Hi there Lovelys! ^_^
   This post is a simple one.  Just some pictures that I took during the last few days here, since I'm leaving tomorrow to go back home.  These pictures are  of the drive to Jeremy's friend's beach house and some awesome fruit I haven eaten in years.

Mountains on the way down from our town.  We are at 3000ft, above sea level, but these mountains are much higher.

Jeremy, driving.  Couldn't look at the camera, said something about having to concentrate on the road, lol.




Made this image bigger because this is one of my most favourite roads in Jamaica.  

Sugar cane farm
Coconut farm


Such a beautiful view. The morning after we got to the house.

Snacking before a swim ;3

Sweet and small.  Locally called "bumpy" bananas.  I love the taste and texture so much that this is what I left for a photo after eating about 7 or 8 of them.  My bad.

One of them in my hand for scale purposes.  They're so cute!

Locally grown organic everything! This variety of mango is called "Julie".  They're not stringy, they can be very sweet and they are soft and better eaten with your hands, under a tree.  In the bowl is another fruit called Jack Fruit. I don't know the actual name for it, but on the tree is looks like an over sized Durian.  The taste as well as the texture is a bit hard to describe.  It feels rubbery at first but breaks easily after being bitten.  The flavour is like a hint of lemon, with pineapple, star fruit and vanilla.
