Aquavit, very eloquent post.
JonTom,
Yes, there was some discussion elsewhere regarding the stop at "Shanty Town" and many came away from the ride and relayed their concerns regarding that specific stop. Others joined in to explain that Lenbert feels that the local organizations do not reach out to that community.
I have ridden with Lenbert once and do not care to go again.... nothing against Lenbert...I mostly do not like loud crowds and sharing seat spaces, LOL. I have never been to wherever "Shanty Town" is located.
I feel that Lenbert had a genius idea but I also feel that it has possibly grown bigger than expected. When I come to Negril, I prefer to volunteer my time and my donations to St Anthony's. I firmly believe that Father Jim and St Anthony's have a grasp on the needs of their community.
