It is an issue which still affects me y life from time to time. It is for this reason I love this song. I have created a slideshow including slides from my trip to riviera maya in mexico. The people were amazing and I would highly recommend a trip to Mexico for a holiday. They seemed to love the fact that I was mixed race. And got referred to as lenny kravitz the entire holiday. The hotel manageress introduced myself and my partner to a mexican rock star who was apparently massive in mexico, we met her friends a travelling french philiosopher and a cuban graphic designer who had been wearing the same battered tennis shoes since he wore since he arrived in mexico. One night we were all drinking in the evening, a cool breeze in the local reggae bar where I was suprised at their vast selection of recent tunes, so recent in fact, I had hardly hear any of them, then I remembered we were just across from Jamaica. I am hoping to make my first visit to westmoreland, negril in January.
