For those of you who have been to Jamaica before, you know about Jamaica driving. As Jamaicans travel around their paradise, they do it quickly. It is not just the speed at which they drive but the speed is added to narrow, curvy roads. It keeps us on our toes and it causes us to Praise the Lord for His protection after every trip to town. In reality, the driving is not as crazy as it seems as it feels that you are going faster than you really are. The speed limit in Jamaica is 50kmh on regular roads and 80kmh on a highway. This means that when we are squealing around corners, we are actually only going about 30mph. This picture was taken last week along a road and I am guessing that the vehicle was stripped by thieves, but we will save that issue for another "Piece of Paradise."
