ʻO kahi kauhale kokoke i Montego Bay e hāʻawi nei i ka puka makani ma ka nohona o ke kaiaulu i Jamaica
ʻO ka Reggae a me nā lama inu ma ka hale hōkele e like me ka nui o ka poʻe malihini kipa e hōʻea i ka 'maoli' Jamaica . ʻOiai i loko o ka palena nui o Montego Bay , akā,ʻaʻole hikiʻole ke loaʻa kahi'āpana'ōiwi kanaka Jamaica. ʻO Mount Zion he kauhale mahiʻai mahiʻai ma St. Ann Parish,ʻo ia hoʻi ka puʻu mai nā kohu nui e uhi ana i ka moku'ākau o ka mokupuni.
ʻO ke alanui e piʻi aku ai i ke kauhale, e hoʻomaka kokoke ana i ka papa'oleka kaulanaʻo Cinnamon Hill, he'ōhinu a me ka momona, e hoʻokūhā neiʻoe i ka holoʻana o nā kaʻa kaʻa hele i kahi alahele no ke alahele hoʻokahi.
Lomi ka lālā o Lush ma nāʻaoʻaoʻelua o ke alanui, akā hiki kokeʻoe i ka hōʻailona aloha no Mount Zion.
Ma ka moʻomeheu Rastafari, Mt. ʻO Zionaʻo ia ka paradaiso hope loa, aʻaʻole paha peheaʻoe e wehewehe ai i ka kama'āina Jamaica i kēlā inoa like. ʻElua mau hale aupuni iʻoi aku ke aupuni ma luna o ke kūlanakauhale:ʻo ka Mount Zion All Ages School - kahi o nā pena kiʻi o nā koa kaulana o Jamaica e hoʻonani i ka paia o hope - a me ka pāʻo Mount Zion United Presbyterian 1838. ʻO kēia, a meʻekolu mau kīʻaka a me kahi lehulehu o nā hale noho pono'ī,ʻo ia ke kauhale.
ʻO ka mea i nele i ka waiwai waiwai, akā, ke kūkulu neiʻo Mount Ziona i ka ikaika o ke kaiāulu. He mea hoihoi hou nā malihini i kēia wahi - e kiʻiʻoe i ka nānā mai nā haumāna o ke kula āpau a me nā mea a pau e pili ana i ka lālā. ʻO ka holoʻana o ke kumukūʻai o ka Willy (a noho pūʻia e nā meaʻoi aku i ka lama a me ka hoʻomā lamaina) ke kumu mua loa o mākou, a ma hope o ke kauohaʻana i ka Red Stripe a me ke anuanu, loaʻa iaʻu he ala kaʻa mai kahi alakaʻi alakaʻi'ōpio. nā huahana o ka'āina (ackee, ka Jamaican national food, ke kau nei i kahi lāʻau ma waho o ka pā, a me ka lono nui loa aʻu iʻike mua ai) ma mua o ka alakaʻiʻana iaʻu i ka puʻu i ka halepule, ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ke kauhale.
I ka heleʻana mai o nā luahineʻelemakule me nā pōpō,ʻaʻole i loli ka ekalesia i nā makahiki he 170 i hala aku nei, koe wale no kekahi mau hua hou hou, akā naʻeʻaʻole maʻemaʻeʻole ka hoʻomaʻemaʻeʻana i kahi ola o ke kaiāulu. I ka hōʻailonaʻana i ko mākou hōʻeaʻana i ke awakea o ka Pōʻalima, ua piʻo nā mea ukali i ka bele ma ka halepule nui no mākou, me ka hopohopo paha i kekahi mau kauhale kau (nā lā Lāpule!!).
ʻO nā kamaliʻi a mākou i hui ai, ua hoʻopiʻi lākou i kahiʻino e pili ana i ko lākou ola ma ke kula,ʻoiai ua lilo ke kālepa i meaʻike i waena o ka nininiʻana i nā mea inu a me ka kūʻaiʻana i ka berena i nā poʻe o ka'āina. Ua hauʻoli nā kānaka a pau eʻike iā mākou, a ua hauʻoli mākou i ka loaʻaʻana o kahiʻike pōkole i ka wikiwiki o ka nohoʻana i loko o Jamaican.
Inā heleʻoe,ʻaʻohe meaʻino e loaʻa i kahi alakaʻi kaiaulu e like me kā Ivan Bowwow - ka mea hoʻokele kaʻa kaʻa noho ma ka Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort ma Montego Bay - akā no ka hoʻolālā waiwai waiwai,ʻo ia hoʻiʻo Ivan e'ōlelo ana e hiki i nā poʻe malihini ke hoʻokele i kahi kaʻawale. ʻO ka ukana hale kūʻai i ka maunaʻo Ziona no ka mākaʻikaʻi (e noʻonoʻo wale i nā puʻupuʻu). E hoʻohuli i ka manaʻo māmā, i kāu kamera, a me kekahi mau kālā no ka pahu rum, ka pahu kākela o ka halepule, a he mea hoʻokumu paha no kāu mau alakaʻi alakaʻi'ōlohelohe ...
Ināʻoe eʻimi ana i kahi nānā pono i ka moʻomeheu a me ke kaiāulu i Jamaica, he wahi nui kahi e kipa aku ai i ka maunaʻo Ziona -ʻaʻole wale no nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā leo, akā, no nā kānaka, ka mea i hele i kēia huakaʻi hoʻokahi o koʻu Caribbean e hoʻomanaʻo nuiʻia nā huakaʻi.
