the most beautiful place i can remember Essays -
Whenever the thought of the most beautiful placed my eyes has ever seen comes to mind, there is only one place in my memory. Nestled on a plateau in the shady parish of St. Catherine Jamaica; lies the famous lovers get-away called Winters Park. Bearing no relation to the frigid season of the year; rather the name of the cultivator of this breath-taking paradise. This is undoubtedly the most beautiful place I have ever visited. In the summer of nineteen ninety-nine. My now wife, paid me a visit as the often did every year. We had been friends since high school; but shortly after her graduation, she emigrated to the united states in quest of a better life. We had been dating almost four years when my mother suggested I propose to her. I did not need much encouragement since I had already had it I mind. I wanted it to be a memorable occasion so I thought about places that would support my wish. After scouring the countryside and asking many opinions, a friend of mine informed me of a pr ivate property that catered only to tourist. Since I had never heard about it I was mildly skeptical at first, but had always trusted this friend of mine opinion on almost everything, so I then looked forward this lost paradise as he referred to it.

It began to get cool, and all along the roadway, we started seeing flowers of many different species. Birds flew by and perched in tress singing their sweet sons as we drove by. Where had this place been all along we asked each other, this was about ten miles from our homes yet we had never been here. I told her that I heard about a nature resort that wa s here in the hills and she pretty much laugh and asked me how come she had never heard about it, I told her I just found out about it today and we were coming to see. As we rounded the next corner, a sign by the side of the road indicated our destination was just up the bend! I began to see many cars parked along the road and tourist walking with their cameras to and from the destination, those coming back all had an expression of enjoyment on their faces. We followed the sign tills we came upon a gate with a ticket booth, we were asked to pay an alarming price and was slightly taken aback, this better be worth it I thought! Through the gates we went, and as soon as we had travelled a hundred yards, my nose was tantalized by the aromatic fragrances of a wide variety of flowering shrubs and trees, so beautiful1 The whole landscape transformed into a majestic garden in the midst of which
