Original Toronto Star caption: The rural life of Jamaica is something many visitors never get to see. But those who head for Sign Great House not only get to sit down to a native meal but also get tours of the hinterland. Trips take them to banana plantations and along country roads where the traffic sometimes runs on three horsepower.
