    Welcome come back my people to a new video here in Portland Parish, specifically the Rio Grande River. I was contacted by another creator and he asked if i would like to join him and his family for a day on the river. As soon as we got there i was really excited to see what the day had in store as i was told we would be cooking as well as swimming in this river. On the menu was Pepsi chicken, French fry chicken, steamed fish, and rice and peas which is a staple in Jamaican cuisine. The Rio grande is an absolute beauty of a river and a must do if you’re ever in the Portland parish area.

    I’m really enjoying your channel. I’m glad you got a chance to experienced the local people enjoying family and friends at a cookout. Most Jamaicans do both indoor and outdoor cooking because they do have to buy propane for cooking. Roasting breadfruit and yams is most often done outside no matter how much money people have. You have done so well. I would enjoy hosting you in my home parish of Hanover

    Po I'm glad you got the authentic experience from a beautiful Jamaican family. He was right we do experience dry Saharan dust from time to time which causes the atmosphere to be hot, humid and poor visibility (hazy). It's cause by the trade winds bringing the dust from the western coast of Africa to the Caribbean, filling our atmosphere with high concentrations of Saharan dust.

    NOT Rio Grand Po Jo, it's Rio Grande. It's a Spanish name from our Spanish heritage. There are many other places and rivers with Spanish names in Jamaica, eg. Santa Cruz, Rio Cobre, Rio Minho, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, Spanish Town (which jamaicans sometimes refer to as Spain Town), St Jago etc. Jamaica was 1st colonized by the Spanish, and under Spanish rule with Spanish slaves masters at first. Then the British came and ran the Spaniards out because of the "brown gold" that the Spaniards had, which was the sugar cane. Jamaica was then colonized again for the 2nd time by the British. The British however, kept the names of many places and rivers named by the Spanish.

      Its the bread basket of our country, plus we have some of the best rivers on the island. Its more country than Portland and St. Ann but the hospitality from the locals are second to none. There's a cool spot called Lovers Leap, you can Google it to see the backstory behind the name.
