The vendors in Mexico can be and are aggressive at times as well...

Be leery of buying edibles as strength varies so proceed with caution.

Dean never seems to make it that far down the beach. We've stayed at Country Country next door over a dozen times and have never seen Dean make it that far, he must sell out before then.

Dean's hot box is still well stocked when he gets to Idle Awhile Beach. His hot is really HOT :devilish:

Ozzie's across the street from Tree House has excellent jerk and awesome carrot juice with hint of ginger & lime.

Unfortunate, I would so miss Dean if I didn't catch him on the beach.
I think he has the best jerk pork. Better than the dragon I think.
Well worth it to seek him out if he doesn't happen to make it that far down the beach.

Will look for the February roll call!!!!
