Of course, when speaking of Carribbean peoples whom are proud of their heritage, none can be more proud than the ‘Maroons’.

A Maroon - from the word marronage or American/Spanish cimarrón: “fugitive, runaway”.

Ther were Maroons in all parts of the Carribbean and Florida, but none can be more proud than those of Jamaica. The most famous of them being “Old Cudjoe”.

The maroons were communiteis of escaped slaves that melted away into the interior and raided plantations and settlements from their mountain and forest fastness. The Maroons of Jamaica fought and frustrated the British until, in the end, the British treated with them and used them as a police force to capure further runaway slaves.

Maroon is of course the colour of choice…

Wow 32bravo, that’s some beautiful forestry and beaches there in the northern part of Trinidad! Hope y’all are able to get back over there like you said.

We used to visit the island twice a year: Chrismas and Easter, the summer months are in the middle of the rainy season.

However, since my mother-in-law died a few years ago, my wife wasn’t able to face visiting the island and her mother not being there. So, we sold up our properties ( a colonial style house, not unlike this one http://www.vacations-abroad.com/images/property00001351photo0007.jpg and a couple of apartments elsewhere) and backed away for a while. My wife is now beginning to yearn for the Carnival experience, so we will most likely visit next year, God willing.

I once climbed up this waterfall (Paria Falls), but slipped off as I reached the top - Made quite a splash!! :lol: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://community.iexplore.com/photos/journal_photos/DSC00859a.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.iexplore.com/dmap/Trinidad%2Band%2BTobago/Where%2Bto%2BGo&usg=__f-GPB6u-ueOemkTJ7YKWFRE6bBo=&h=1020&w=1360&sz=100&hl=en&start=61&tbnid=NUxdbNVUtUYJMM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcolonial%2Bstyle%2Bhouses%2Btrinidad%2Band%2Btobago%26start%3D60%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN

Oh, this is a different post, I was responding to the links you provided of the northern areas of Trinidad in post #20. And hoping that y’all are able to get back there this year like it sounds that you’re planning to do.

P.S. Thanks for more links! (I’ll look at them when I get home from work, take care!)

Fine. Thought I was suffering a little De javou.
