Church

A church is a building used for Christian religious activities, particularly for Christian worship services. The term is often used by Christians to refer to the physical buildings where they worship, but it is sometimes used (by analogy) to refer to buildings of other religions. In traditional Christian architecture, a church interior is often structured in the shape of a Christian cross. When viewed from plan view the vertical beam of the cross is represented by the center aisle and seating while the horizontal beam and junction of the cross is formed by the bema and altar.

Ganja Field

Ganja is a Hindi name for hemp, derived from the word ganjha, from the Sanskrit gañjā, referring to a "powerful preparation from cannabis sativa". The term ganja, one of the oldest and most commonly used synonyms for marijuana in the English language, dates to before 1689. Marijuana also called weed, herb, pot, grass, bud, ganja, Mary Jane, and a vast number of other slang terms. It's a greenish-gray mixture of the dried flowers of Cannabis sativa. Some people smoke marijuana in hand-rolled cigarettes called joints; in pipes, water pipes (sometimes called bongs), or in blunts (marijuana rolled in cigar wraps). Marijuana can also be used to brew tea and, particularly when it is sold or consumed for medicinal purposes, is frequently mixed into foods (edibles) such as brownies, cookies, or candies.

Savanna-la-mar town

Savanna-la-mar is often abbreviated to Sav-la-mar or simply "Sav" by locals and is the capital of Westmoreland Parish. Over recent years its importance as a town has diminished relative to tourism Mecca of Negril. The town was established by the Spanish in 1730 and was named Savanna-la-mar, meaning "The plain by the sea". Savanna-la-mar currently sports several historic buildings, including one of the most handsome schools in Jamaica. Sadly, the most memorable events in the town's history is a series of three hurricanes which caused massive destruction. The first one to hit the newly established town was in 1748 which caused almost total destruction. Another hurricane hit in 1780, allegedly causing the sea to rise to such a degree that ships were found stranded amongst the trees. A third hurricane struck in 1912, causing a schooner to be washed in to town. Nowadays the town's economic activities centre around sugar, retail and occasional benefits from the Negril tourism trade.

Nine Mile is the birthplace and final resting place of Robert Nesta Marley, more commonly known as Bob Marley. Bob Marley was born in a small cottage in the rural village of Nine Mile and lived here until he was 13 years old. His house and community gave Bob the inspiration for many of his well-known songs. The village of Nine Mile is located deep in the St. Ann countryside and is reached through a series of scenic winding rural roads. Nine Mile is a very small village consisting of several modest homes. Bob Marley's birthplace is easily recognisable from the flags bearing Rastafarian colours and the compound wall surrounding the property. Outside of the compound walls there are many members of the local community attempting to sell various goods and services, including tours of some interesting herb farms!

Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon is 20 minutes East of Port Antonio (by car), close to Goblin Villas. The Blue Lagoon is a natural lagoon, situated roughly seven miles east of Port Antonio. The deep lagoon was once thought to be bottomless but divers have since determined it's depth to be around 180 feet.The most striking feature about the Blue Lagoon is its mystical blue colour which changes throughout the day, depending on the angle of the sun. A day spent by the Blue Lagoon can see the hue change from turquoise to sapphire to deep blue. When you go swimming in the blue lagoon, you'll be massaged by streams of warm water from the Caribbean Sea and refreshing jets of icy fresh water from the underground streams which feed the lagoon.
The site was originally called The Blue Hole. However, following the success of the Brooke Shields film "The Blue Lagoon" which was filmed here, the site was re-named "The Blue Lagoon". The Blue Lagoon has attracted many high profile visitors, including Robin Moore, who wrote the French Connection whilst living here.
