For today’s Geo Quiz, picture this: You’re about 90 miles south of Cuba … driving on a road along the sunny coastline of a Caribbean island. You’re slowly making your way to the town of Savannah-la-Mar. That’s the capital of Westmoreland Parish.

Can you name the island yet?? Ok maybe a couple more clues are in order: So, this island is famous for its Blue Mountains that are home to Blue Mountain coffee.

At the western end of the island there’s Bluefields Beach where you can grab an ice cold Red Stripe to quench your thirst.

That’s the local beer. It goes best with something called jerk.

It’s a roadside stand along the southern coast of Jamaica. Jamaica is the answer to our quiz today.

This is where you’ll find Omar, a 26 year old Jamaican. He’s standing over the fire in a sawed off oil drum. Omar’s cooking up traditional Jamaican jerk.
