Winter 2010 - It is always “One Love” coming to Jamaica. Jamaica is home for Dee and Noble Dre* Ali, a place where they can connect to their familys’ culture. Dee’s family comes from Portland and Noble Dre Ali’s family comes from Ocho Rios (Ochi). Together, they love the vibe and spirit of the people. The spices and fresh fruit are top notch! There is literally no other place like Jamaica, world wide!
Here is a view from Dre’s grandparents property in Ochi.
