    **on-site Trip Report [[ ..ChristmasEve.....NIGHT ...!!! ,,,,,, ]]

    This place is mad-mad-MaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaD....!!!...

    :-)


    i'm stuck in Lucea-town
    can't
    and
    DO NOT wanna leave.

    this has to be witness-ed to believed..!!..

    first,
    pon last post
    @ 7pm
    police CLOSED the One-Way

    all traffic is being detour-ed to other routes

    the One-Way is now a gigantic bazzar.
    ..jerk and other barrel stuff
    ..vendors sell nuff stuff,,, in street, on curbs, in alleys, EVER and ANY available space is being taken by somebody selling something ---- plus, the people/customers:::: barely nuff room for the customers

    kids everyplace with their parents

    right now,
    there're about 10 of those guys with the dice game, where you find the rock under the shell.

    * whew *
    too too bad you-all can't be here to see & enjoy this

    :-(

    [[ continue-ing ]]

    after i *decided* i'd hang around for a while,
    i figured it would be a good idea to get something(?) to eat.

    stopped to a fav spot of mine

    they had CURRY GOAT....!!!!...

    :-)

    of course,
    i order-ed THAT ---- 'cause i love it bad

    cost..??..:::>>> Ja$400

    back in the good ole USofA,
    that meal would cost me:::>> 'bout US$15, and it would NOT taste as good/nice/delicious

    and
    and
    and::>> HERE is the kicker 'bout that meal::::>>>> there was a couple small slices of ChristmasCake included with the order ----- that likkle *touch* made me smile large.

    when i placed my order i told the waitress ::>> "..having.." ... which means i'm gonna sit down, and not '..take-away.'

    waitress had an id-tag hanging round her neck,,,, evidently she had ANOTHER day-job, and was there to help-out family, friend or whatever with the bizness tonight

    she brought me my food on a hugh plate, with nice glass of cold water, WITH a coaster for water-glass

    nice touch

    mi not for sure,
    but me *think* that the liquor store sell-off ALL the pint-size of liquor ..... all around, just after sunset, bokkles could be seen on tables, in hands, etc etc

    [[ continue-ing ]]


    MORE vendors are showing up..!!..


    in a future post,
    i'll post about all the innovative set-ups, and crazy electrical wiring they-be-doing to set-up a selling-spot ---- UN-believable ---- what-ever it takes to get the job done, fi sure

    more about my walk to town earlier with young lady


    my walking-buddy said things were less expensive, and living was better in-foreign.

    :-(

    mi-love-love-love these chats

    firstly,
    i told her to chat-up those folks she KNOW,
    who've been to foreign and ask them to tell her
    The REAL Deal

    'cause what she say/believe AIN'T true...nope... NOT at-tall

    when i told her about the 25-30 year mortage for a house purchase she was amazed.

    when i told her she can't get food like she can growing in her yard or in the bush, or on the roadside, etc etc blah blah, she listened, pondered, frowned, as if i'd popped some kinda brain-bubble.

    i like popping brain-bubbles

    :-)

    [[[ likkle bit ---- gonna go back to the Big-Party outside

    We drove through Lucea about 6:00 - as the MOH and Firetruck went roaring through and the Red Stripe truck made its last delivery of the night at the supermakert. The one way was still open - and the alternative route they send you on is the unofficial "Lucea bypass" which lets you off near the High School.

    Lisa is very excited, you will all find out about it tomorrow!

    Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
