Vote For Jeita?

vote (3) Win, lose or scam, there’s only a few days left to vote(or not) for Jeita.  almaza (3) The best vote for Jeita is to vote with your feet. Go see Jeita! It’s a beautiful drive through the mountains to reach the caves and hopefully some of our politicians noticed the poor and often trashy condition of the road and maybe, just maybe, someone will resolve that situation. That gets my vote!
