Welcome come back my people to a new video here in Portland Parish, specifically the Rio Grande River. I was contacted by another creator and he asked if i would like to join him and his family for a day on the river. As soon as we got there i was really excited to see what the day had in store as i was told we would be cooking as well as swimming in this river. On the menu was Pepsi chicken, French fry chicken, steamed fish, and rice and peas which is a staple in Jamaican cuisine. The Rio grande is an absolute beauty of a river and a must do if you’re ever in the Portland parish area.

Thar's so great that you were invited to the river!!!!! I love how my Jamaican people are so friendly!😊 I'm so happy you got to experience real Jamaica with the help of locals.
As a Jamaican this makes me happy!!!
I feel very fortunate for the way this country has been receiving me 👌🏽
It was a grand time 👌🏽
Because you're family.....
@@exquisitecaribbeanqueen7198the Jamaican hospitality being shown in pojos videos as much as the beauty of the country is what is luring me and I bet many to Jamaica
@@elturko1128 Exactly so... I am one of them and trust me .. I am already heading home like the " Barefoot Island Lady" 😁
Beautiful ladies making amazing food ❤❤❤to my 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 family ❤❤❤
Amazing family 👌🏽
“The Fairest isle , eyes have ever seen,” quote from Christopher Columbus when first laid eyes on Jamaica 🇯🇲….
CC you mean the colonizer one?
@@PoJoTheBackPackerYes the colonizers......😂😂😂😂😂
@@exquisitecaribbeanqueen7198 😂 i know im just yappin lol
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Actually you're not .. He was the colonizer.. i just made light of it ... 😂
Yes, Christopher Columbus the colonizer when he first set eyes on Jamaica
Love how you give us so much info and detail in your videos, great vlogging ❤
Sometimes i forget things but i remember when i watched people vlog i wanted the absolute most information and sometimes i wouldn’t get it 😂👌🏽
Lol, that girl shouting across the river.
Yow, it’s the little things.
My grandmother would say, “yuh talk like yuh live cross riva or pon hill top!”
Rest easy Mama.
Portland is the best and most beautiful parish.
We naah put we mouth a grung and tall.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Portland receives perhaps the most rain in Jamaica which helps to keep the temperature cooler than elsewhere, and the vegetation very green.
That’s good to know👌🏽 i love the greenery lol
So true 👍
I love this. Getting engaged with locals real authentic stuff❤❤
Everywhere you go you have to 👌🏽
Bro that is it connect with the locals 👍🏿
Best way to do it👌🏽
Great video my brother jamaicans hospitality is awesome ❤🇯🇲👍
Thank you very much yes everyone was super nice 👌🏽
Dat Pepsi Chicken looks good af! Nice video bredda
It was fire 🔥👌🏽
Glad to see that you're definitely soaking up the Jamaican culture and food. Hope it's enough for you to crave coming back for more.
Thank you for the comment. I appreciate your support. Normally i like to explore a country for a month or so, so i think you will see plenty of Jamaica videos
I’m really enjoying your channel. I’m glad you got a chance to experienced the local people enjoying family and friends at a cookout. Most Jamaicans do both indoor and outdoor cooking because they do have to buy propane for cooking. Roasting breadfruit and yams is most often done outside no matter how much money people have. You have done so well. I would enjoy hosting you in my home parish of Hanover
Thanks for watching!
We jamaican have every thing what we want but we don't know let me say this to everyone in Jamaica we have 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸we have love we pretty 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️so please stay safe me love Jamaica
Thank you for this kind comment 👌🏽
Sometimes we have gold and precious stones in the backyard but don't know it. We run abroad or overseas.
Thanks fam. This brings back so many memories.
We would make trips to Nassie Davis to wash clothes.
I remember having to walk to Fellowship to a shop and it seemed like the longest journey ever.
Sighs. The good ole days.
Pojo please don't forget to visit the fountain of youth up in the blue mountains 💙 you will absolutely feel 20 years younger when you swim in that mountain ⛰️ pool my friend indeed
I’m trying to figure out logistics on this blue mountain situation. Where to stay, how to get there. The best trail to hike etc etc. i like to be semi prepared as i am not renting a car here in Jamaica, it has its challenges but i will figure it out. it’s something that is most defiantly on the list though thank you for this suggestion 👌🏽
Nice place !!! Excellent experience ❤
Yes it was!
Big up your self again youth thanks for visiting my community just be safe
Thank you very much yes i will be
It is good to bring along your flip flop for beach and river. I have never heard of Pepsi Chicken. I guess people have their own recipes. Smiling! Caribbean People generally believe that their best dinner should be on Sundays. Fish is brain food.
Yea idn why i wore shoes this day because i walked in the river back and my feet were tore up 😭😂
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Wow! Get something called Dettol. Get out the bacteria.
Portland is very luscious and green! Lots of rain in that side!
That what i was told
I love this video bro, hope we can link up and do a lot more collaboration vlog like these 😊😊
We will get back together bro 🇯🇲👌🏽

@@PoJoTheBackPacker Thank you for sharing 💗💗👍🇯🇲
Love a good red stripe beer
RAISE HELL BROTHER!
Loving your vlogs bro! I’m going to vlog for my 1st time when I go to St Lucia for a couple weeks from the UK. What vlogging tips would you give me , especially since you’ve vlogged in the Carribean too.
Bro you’re going to have a blast. Just be confident when speaking to the camera. Look directly into the camera lense so it makes the viewer feel connected. Get outside of your comfort zone. Record everything and make sure you talk to locals. You are going to have a blast !!
Also give all the information you can on how you get around where you’re going how much you paid etc etc etc you got this my brother 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Bless up brother. I appreciate your advice a lot 🙏🏽💪🏽💯

Thank you for the comment! Okay i will consider this 👌🏽
Yes there now a large Population of deers now in Jamaica, they have hunting season for the deers. They breed very fast
I was shocked when i heard that haha
Great family mn.
Yes good hospitality all around 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPackerlooking forward to next vid
Title of Pojos video few months from now 😂😂😂:
MOVING TO JAMAICA GOODBYE USA
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😅😅😢😢😢
lol hey pojo uno I just realized you understand what we be saying fluently! 😂😂😂 anyway, dude ur super cool. You hang with the locals as if you are one of them!
It’s the best way to get to know a place
@@PoJoTheBackPacker indeed my brother! Your channel will grow quickly my bro. Bless up!
@@KirbyG970 🫡🙏🏽
Another great place to go in Jamaica is Pelican Bar - the bar in the middle of the sea.
Okay i will have to check this place out thank you 👌🏽
Big up bro.
Thank you👌🏽
Po I'm glad you got the authentic experience from a beautiful Jamaican family. He was right we do experience dry Saharan dust from time to time which causes the atmosphere to be hot, humid and poor visibility (hazy). It's cause by the trade winds bringing the dust from the western coast of Africa to the Caribbean, filling our atmosphere with high concentrations of Saharan dust.
That’s crazy it travels that far haha thank you for sharing this 👌🏽
Not only does she cook for her family every evening, but she prepares a full course meal by the riverside. Shame on me 🤦🏽♀️
😂 yea you see that view? Chile we was looking out Norton park windows your hear me
Backpack keep being honest. Please don’t change thank you
Always
Rivers are very dangerous not necessarily because of depth but cause of the rapids that create different currents and suction pools that pulls you under with great force
Ahhh okay i actually didn’t know this. I saw some rapids up the river but idn they didn’t look too crazy but i guess you never know 👌🏽
It was a blessing to have have you here ❤❤❤
Thank you for having me we will link up again 👌🏽
My Grandmother lived further up. The place was called John’s Hall close to Windsor. My grandmother said that there was a huge flood and washed away a lot of people and they were washed into a cave located by Nassie Davis.
She said that there is a cave beneath the water and the riva mummahs live there and will take away troublesome kids. Lol.
I miss home 😢
She must have told u this growing up lol
@@PoJoTheBackPacker yes as a deterrent not to leave the yard to go to the river.
I see you are eating well
Always 😂👌🏽
Po Jo!
U will never forget your time in JAMAICA! You appear to be Hispanic are you??
I am in Florida of Jamaican extraction but lived abroad most of my life but I am home whe B m I can.
You’re right i won’t haha. Yes 🇵🇷. Thank you for watching 👌🏽🙏🏽 Florida is an excellent state 👌🏽
Bro wood fire cooking is the best
It really is lol
Did you do the Blue Lagoon? He’s right it’s very dangerous the Rio Grande
No id like to go this time around but i heard it’s messed up maybe cuz of the storm
I thought this was a day trip..I knew you wouldn't leave yet.
I like to stay in places for about 2-3 days bc at a time sometimes 4 days
Always makes for a good time
Rep Grandeeeer
👌🏽
Yea bro same. I know beer chicken never Pepsi. So curious about it
Same heard of beer never Pepsi haha but it was delicious
@@PoJoTheBackPackerso curious. Might have to try it at home. Wont be as good as what u had but I wanna try
That’s fire bro ! God bless you all !
Thank you very much 👌🏽
NOT Rio Grand Po Jo, it's Rio Grande. It's a Spanish name from our Spanish heritage. There are many other places and rivers with Spanish names in Jamaica, eg. Santa Cruz, Rio Cobre, Rio Minho, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, Spanish Town (which jamaicans sometimes refer to as Spain Town), St Jago etc. Jamaica was 1st colonized by the Spanish, and under Spanish rule with Spanish slaves masters at first. Then the British came and ran the Spaniards out because of the "brown gold" that the Spaniards had, which was the sugar cane. Jamaica was then colonized again for the 2nd time by the British. The British however, kept the names of many places and rivers named by the Spanish.
Very interesting history i did not know any of this!
Thank you for sharing 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker nuff respect
Dont feel bad about using a rice cooker because you cant just go make a fire outside to cook back in NC😊 You are on the island, the wood fire is true authentic cooking
If i lived in the country like my grandparents i could just not at my current location lol.
Bro ain’t seen u post in awhile. Thought u got kidnapped😅… I’m on the other side of the island in treasure beach. U making it this way?
Hey you should msg me on IG if ur not scared to be on camera and show me your ends. If not it’s cool. And nah no kidnapped situation here 👌🏽😂
Come to St. Elizabeth bro
What’s special about st Elizabeth ?
Its the bread basket of our country, plus we have some of the best rivers on the island. Its more country than Portland and St. Ann but the hospitality from the locals are second to none. There's a cool spot called Lovers Leap, you can Google it to see the backstory behind the name.
@@basejoseph3464 okay i will do my research 👌🏽
Bro Jamaica don't have any poisonous snakes
That’s why we imported the mongoose. 😂
😂😂
Honestly that’s good to know, back home I’m always nervous to just jump into a swimming hole 😂
No black bears either. LOL!
@@Happey67 we have those where i come from 😂
😂 hamburger helper❤
😂😂
Noway bro first time ever having fish?! I know u r not fan but didn’t know was first time
Yes brother first time in my life haha crazy right!
@@PoJoTheBackPackerwoooow! Very. And your from Miami and Puerto Rican blood :))) I think certain fish (white soft flesh) cooked right. You will love. And salmon. Can’t go wrong. I don’t love all fish though so I get you
@@elturko1128 yes i enjoy the white fish
Shoutout To My Fellow TH-camr Content Creator >>>#PojoTheBeckpacker@>>> My There Are Dangerous Animals Or Pisoneous Reptiles In Jamaica >>With The Exception Of Crocodiles In Certain Areas Of The River Course>>More Spacifically In The Black River Rigion Of Saint Elizabet Or St.Catherine And St.Thomas Parish >> Jamaica Is A Paradise >>Because Of Its Natural Beauty And Our Peoples On The Island >>!!!
Yes this is very true 👌🏽 thank you for the nice comment my friend 🙏🏽
A 24 hour challenge wouldn't be bad seen as they don't have any poisonous snakes or dangerous animals on the island. Nothing to fear.
East Indian (India) Originally from India. Jamaica and the other Islands are West Indian , India and nations along is East Indian.
Thank you for this information 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker YOu are welcome!
So Portland is a Must when I get to Jamaica 🇯🇲?
Yes it is a must!
Portland is always cooler
I enjoy it
Don't know why i can't hear no audio
You’re the only one
Po’Jo your mother is going to disown you by you saying that you grew up on hamburger helper. 😂😂
😭 she watched it but i think she missed this part but i know she will read your comment 😂😂😂
@@PoJoTheBackPacker 😂😂😂
I’ll say it again bro till u try it in Jamaica. Red snapper. U gotta try it even as non fish fan :)))) if u don’t like it I’ll never recommend a food again to u I promise :))))
Trust me my brother i am going to 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPackercan’t wait to see. I’m hoping u love it and I know you’d give true opinion either or. Very curious. I’ve built it up quite a bit tho :)))) but Jamaicans really do know how to make it BOMB
😂😂😂 they all looking like is this greedy man gone leave food for we to eat. He just devoured that food mommie gave to him.
Yo u watched the whole video commenting and giving me a view pushing it to the algorithm lol are you bored yet
Not sure but I don't think there's no Crocodiles in Portland maybe in St. Thomas
I’m not sure but i don’t want to find out lol
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Crocodiles are in St. Thomas. None in Portland.
there was one back in the late 80s, i remember people watching on a bridge at Halls road.
@@JIDAYAH1981 o zeen
Them people ah all look for free food inna dem bellys.
Damn you come just to hate lol
That ride is scary for me
