We have had a lovely day today here at Seastar breakfast was good and you can purchase extra sides if you wish.The bed was so comfortable and pillows so soft and sheets so crisp and white I found it difficult to get off the bed once I went back to the room after breakfast then I finally managed to prise myself out of the room I was reading not sleeping btw!
I went to the pool and some children were there Jamaican children friends of Seastar and there were 2 little boys one age 9 and one age 2 and they were so cute and funny and very well behaved,They was making me laugh and they soon made friends with my son and soon enough they were racing, floatie boarding, going under the water together and cannon balling!
They were so sweet the 9 yr old was really caring with his brother he said he was taking care not to get the second towel wet as he wanted that dry for his baby brother incase he got cold and the little brother really cared for the older one too, The baby 2 yr old was sat in a chair watching his older brother diving in and laughing and I said are you okay there or do you want to sit with us and he pointed to his brother and said he was watching him,He was checking he was okay they were so sweet.
They played most of the day
This evening me and the kids decided we were going to Ricks cafe to watch the sun go down and check out the hype and my son asked his new friend did he want to come.The boys father said he was allowed cutie baby wanted to stay with daddy though so just the 9 yr old came.So I held my sons hand down seastar lane and the little boy grabbed my other hand he was so sweet and he was telling me about goats on the road and saying if you touch the babys maybe the mother goats will not want them then and he found it very funny when we walked past a yard full of vicious looking dogs and they all ran to the gate barking really loud.I am not a dog person the freak me out so practically hot footed it dragging all the kids past that yard!
Ricks cafe was really lovely the pool was warm the sunset was beautiful it was packed out and still felt warm.As sun was setting everyone came in all dressed up and there were little candles on the tables for candlelit dinners.Everyone really enjoyed it.The little boy thought it was funny because I was afraid of everything I would not let him out of my sight and I was watching him like a hawk in the swimming pool , he is an excellent swimmer and I am sure if I took my eyes off him he would give the divers at Ricks a run for their money! Then he wanted to watch the divers and i was holding on to him saying don't get too close to the edge!
and then the dogs he must have thought I am the most neurotic mother he has ever met! but we all had a really lovely day it was so cute watching him and his lil bro together they really looked out for each other and were so well behaved.The little one was answering to baby.Too cute so it was a boys day for my son today and he really had a nice time.We are back at seastar now and I have just ordered my sons favourite pepperoni pizza so lets hope that is a hit too!
I tried the poutine today cheesy chips and gravy it is called where I live to you it is french fries with melted cheese and gravy! or rather posh word poutine cheesy chips yay
Was good.
Not seen much Jamaican food on the menu but I am tired and it could be there,seeing a lot of jerk chicken but not things like brown stew chicken or escovietch fish or curry goat rice and peas,That sort of thing which I am craving.I am going to try the BLT tonight with cheese I do not eat bacon but could not decide what I wanted and I feel like some really good Jamaican home made cooking FATTYS got me in the mood!
There is a man on this street who cooked me something this afternoon, he said he does not like to cook on Sundays but husband persuaded him somehow but I told my husband I wanted Jamaican food but he knows I do not really like the boiled stuff so it was my turn for a moaning session!!
Boiled dumplings green banana veg chicken with sauce and yam.The kids left theirs and I do not like boiled ground food so settled for the poutine here.The man said if we want anything in future let him know in the morning for afternoon.
Maybe I will ask him when I want a family one pot cooking one pot one price LOL
My BLT has just arrived and it is looking pretty good I will let you know how it tastes and see if I can be a BLT convert!

Aww, sounds like an awesome day for the kids. Have always founf Caribbean raised children to be very well mannered, in JA or in Tortola, Barbados, same deal. Poutine is a French Canadian dish, not to be tried outside of Quebec or New Brunswick Canada. Authentic poutine is like authentic Jerk Chicken. Gotta have locals make it for you or it isnt really "real"

Nice that your son met another young man to hang with. I bet the boys enjoyed the day with you just as much if not more as you did. Send your boiled ground provisions my way, I love them!
