Oh how I wish I were riding along with you- I promise I wouldn't make a peep... You wouldn't even know I was there. What an adventure.

the images are intoxicating . . .
Vi..what happened to Tractor....lol.....:)
LOL BaileysMom, if you were riding with me for real, no way you would be silent. I wouldn’t have it! But I know what you mean. I can honestly say I have NEVER had a dull or mildly eventful reach. There have always been unexpected/bizarre incidents thrust in my path.
Thanks JitterBug
His appearance is coming up JoJo :)
I think you are a way picture taker than I am Vi. I start out with all of the best intentions of taking all these great pictures then as the day wears and the beers roll I get way to relaxed and forget!! Sounds like a terrible problem
Takinitslow, alcohol has the opposite affect on me. the more I sip, the more I click. Plus looking at my photos is part of the therapy I need to get me through life between reaches.

This was the scene as we entered into Port Antonio. The typical week day madness concentrated within 3 square blocks downtown. But come Sunday…everything calm. People gone. Noise gone. Sammy, I know you can appreciate this familiar scene. Just wish I had better background music.

From Port Antonio, I made a quick stop at boston beach to find jewelry man and pay him for the anklet. I was also hoping to see the juice guy. Neither one was there. I felt bad because I knew I wouldn’t be returning to the beach this visit. Well…next time.

Like most cook shops, the daily menu changes. He only provides lunch and dinner for now. Hopefully breakfast will be added when I return.

This is the owner and cook. A real nice, positive young man. His cooking area was spotless and his food was fresh.

As I walked to my room, I waved to Mr. B while he was chillin with his posse at a local spot. He called me over to join them. I was super hungry but I couldn’t pass up spending a minute or two with Mr. B. Plus this was my first time checking out the bar. He patted the empty space beside him and I plopped in it. He then filled a plastic cup with rum & coke and put my name on it. I sipped and listened as they courteously shared bits of Portland wisdom and a little something person about themselves. These cats were cool…serious and although “feeling good” they were extremely respectful throughout the entire conversation.
Mr. B (far left) is a master chef. He no longer works full time, but still coordinates the cooking/menus for big events held at schools, festivals and churches. He promised to prepare his famous jerk chicken during my next reach. He said when he cooks it; he makes enough for the immediate community. I can’t wait because so many folks had raved about his skills.
I finished my drink, said good-bye and headed to the room to eat. I was soooo hungry.

I had to take a picture of this…I wished I brought it home with me.

The bar…they don’t sell food but play music on Friday & Saturday nights.
