Beach Theater - you're a part of the cast, whether you want to or not! when they begin to give me that "you're a racist" crap cuz I'm not buying their stuff I sometimes laugh and come out with "Yes, I'm a lesbian racist - gweh fram mi now." Once I said "Yup, I'm racist - I can't stand white people" - they had no words for my white self.
I enjoy most of the vendors, and even the outright hustlers, but I figure if some annoy me, turn about is fair play.
ahhhh Miss Goldilocks...much respect.
That's why I appreciate comments from you and others who understand that my visits aren't like the norm. To me, Negril, like this message board, is challenging territory. I love Jamaica! so much that I arrive with a lot of humility stuffed in my carry-on. I seek only "my" place(s) within her many hills, valleys and housing schemes without disturbing the residents. You are absolutely right, that guy was angry I wasn't sticking to my script. One written for an obese, single, foreign woman who made it through customs without losing a (baggage) pound. When he saw me, I was alone (again) when I should have been walking the beach with him or a carbon copy.
lissen me now...
This is not what I've become used to. As long as I've been traveling to the east coast, I've NEVER been approached by someone like him or the cranky produce lady. Like I said, I love Jamaica too much to trip about such less positive individuals ...instead...I'll write about them. Photos not necessary, nuh true???
Oh fatha....I walk the beach alone and by the time I go from Sun Beach to SeaWind someone has walked along side me asking why am I walking so fast (I'm trying not to catch any "lint" that tags on) or why do they always see me alone....Quote:

LOL you have a gift for being honest blended with witty without being rude. I wish I were like that. Instead, it's best for me to look at them as if I don't have a thought in my head then to tell them what they can't do for me. So glad you are still hanging with me Tee.
Today's walk was less pleasant than the other day's. I keep telling myself, it could have been worse. Even under the perfect sky. Or standing in view of the most majestic waters. Bad situations can always be badder. But what type of person clings to anger once they see a bright, colorful parasailing shute drift by?????
Not Meeeeeeeeeeeeee

You are right to not stay angry, Vi, and try to continue to enjoy your vacation :)
Ahhh, coming into "my" stretch of beach now - thanks for these!
Alfreds..... my favorite spot on the beach. Last time I swam out to that dock, warning, it is farther out than you think. Now with the jet skis back, (ugg!) I wouldn't do
that anymore. Did you eat at Alfreds, some good food there. I also love dancing there at night, any dancing coming up Vi ? :)
