Jamaica celebrates its independence

It’s a big day in Jamaica today, as the island country commemorates the anniversary of its independence in 1962. Here in picturesque Port Antonio, they’re likely enjoying the Caribbean beaches and tropical rainforest climate that the island is famous for. You can get into the spirit of the holiday, no matter where you are. Try a recipe for Jamaican jerk chicken, play some music from the island, and pour a glass of Jamaican rum or coconut water. With views like this, every day must feel like a holiday in Jamaica.
