There have been some truly unique experiences down here this summer. Today was one of them, and one that will not soon be forgotten. On the work sites the Jamaicans will break out in song randomly throughout the day to help make a long day under the sun go by a little faster. Today they were singing Bob Marley. You might think that this is a common occurrence but NO! This was the first time that Bob had been sung at the work sites all summer so I was excited, and wanted them to sing my personal favorite "Three Little Birds." The Jamaicans started singing and I was singing along when someone at the house next door (by next door I mean 100 yards away) starting singing (by singing I mean screaming) along with them. Then the house up the hill joined in as well. Now at this time I've stopped singing, and pretty much stopped working just to take in the moment. It illustrated the sense of community down here in one beautiful instant, and one that I will never forget,"Don't worry, about a thing, cause every little thing, is going to be alright...."
