While I can't comment on coffee, as I'm a tea-drinker, I can comment on the economy. Nearly 2 years ago, when the country's economy was beginning to be "in the toilet," I was sitting & talking with Maureen at the For Real Bar, one of my favorite places to hang out & talk, Maureen is great! She had about a half-hour with no customers & sat down & we talked after I gave her one of the Obama pictures I was handing out to locals there. One of the things she said was: "As the U.S. economy goes, so goes the Jamaican economy." I told her I hoped that everything was going to be "picking up" soon. When I see her again in December, I'm guessing that we'll still have the same hopes!!
