Ah, that sounds like the Ocho Rios or Montego Bay port...
The wood carvings are incredibly popular souvenirs. Many times guests left the island and would call the hotel and ask was to purchase carvings and ship them to the US:)

Yeah both of those ports sound familiar so I'm not sure which one it was. I want say that it was the Ocho Rios port...
Yeah there were a ton of the carvings.
I'm betting on Ocho Rios too:))
We hope to visit that part of the island next month.
Oh, wow! Nice that you still have it.
I like that one very much 👍
We could never understand why giraffes were the most popular carvings since we don't have giraffes in Jamaica. I think the carvers knew that it would appeal to customers despite that fact.
That's hilarious because the couple we were with, our friends, bought a set of three giraffes there 🤣
I'm not kiddin' you, the giraffes sold like hot bread. I would have a long order for the rasta man on the beach... He did very well for himself.
You're spot on there! I think they probably wanted to have them at the entrances of their houses, or probably just in their rooms of collectibles from around the world... you know, #HowTheOtherHalfLive?
Haha yeah that's exactly it
