Jamaica links (photos and video!)

We got our photos of Jamaica online; you can view them here on O's website. A selection of 40 out of the more than 500 taken, though as I noted before, a lot of them were shots of the sunsets, taken seconds apart.

And an added bonus: two little videos we took on the trip! One was taken from the car, showing some of the landscape, some shacks and houses, and we go over a little river. Maybe you can get a sense from all the shaking going on how bumpy the ride was. The other was taken from the boat we rode on up the Black River. There's mountains in the distance and eventually you see the peat fire that was burning. When the water drains out of the swampy area enough, the peat dries out and the sun can warm it enough that it spontaneously combusts.
