Trip #59 most of February

Usually starts with a walk from which ever property we are staying at on the beach to town and back preferably before the sun hits the waters edge. Love the stillness of the water and the quiet time on the beach before the business day starts. After that its all about the fabulous flavors washed down with Red Stripes and whatever adventures present themselves!! Like to wing it on holidays as life is so scheduled back home......

Well, I get up just as the sky starts to brighten over the mountains with sunrise still about a half hour away. I meditate on my verandah and hail up the farmers heading for the fields in the bush and the pickney on their way to school.
About 8:30am, Marshall comes back from the bush and fixes me a cup of bush tea (usually cerasee, John Charles, fence post, bah cedar, strongback, susumba leaves, etc. and, of course cinnamon) while he fixes a breakfast of some vegetables and whole wheat bread or ackee and veggie chunks [my personal favorite!]
We sit down and reason for about half an hour before he is back to the bush making coal or tending his dasheen crop.
My afternoons vary from a walk of about a mile to the community center Internet Café, reading a book or writing.
About 6pm and it is about time for dinner. We eat no meat so it is usually fish or veggie chunk related with lots of veggies and wheat bread.
We watch the news at 7pm and then stick in a dvd from a neighbor or a street vendor in Santa Cruz and after about an hour, I look over and Marshall is sleeping. He has seen about 30 minutes of every movie known to man!
About 9pm, I turn off the movie and head to bed. Tomorrow will always be a blessing!
Peace and Guidance

After all the work...

A few less bars, about the same beers, my favorite Jamaican veggie all day, a shot or 4, and usually a killer breakfast with extra OJ to hydrate. And SUN all day long.....
Sounds like we have the same itinerary!
Get up have a beer, cook breakfast, hit the beach, drink beer, have some Jamaican food, drink beer, find a place to hang for the evening, drink beer, go back to room, sleep, rinse and repeat daily!

Either a long walk from Barrys to Cosmos or further to Hedo, or run the beach from Barrys
to Treehouse. Then swim, read a book on beach till 12:30 then a patty, a beer, and a spliff
on porch at my room. Back to beach read and swim. 4 back to room for indoor recreation.
Dinner around 6. 9:30 find some music on the beach.
Usually hit the beach/bar around 8:30 or 9:00. Towel on the lounge chair,first red stripe 10:ish. Love saying hello to old friends from years past as they pass by. This year the beach/bar will be moved down a few properties to Treehouse. Looking forward to a new perspective.

LOL when by myself it goes something like this : out on the beach about 6 am for a walk or run on the beach from nbcc to around cosmos watch the sun rise buy some Oj and Pineapple juice on way back to room talk with some of beach vendors just getting in to set up shops. Lounge in room until 7:30-8:00 when one of my friends that is bartending somewhere will call and say they are bored. Walk to those spots. 10:30 ish head to St. Anthony's Kitchen until around 12:30-1:00. Walk back to room grab a patty from Juicy on way back to room, grab my bags of toys,balls and books I have brought for craft market kids under the bridge, head down there as kids are getting out of school. Hang with the vendors for a couple hours maybe gamble a few games back with the fisherman, catch a game of soccer at the beach park and join in sometimes. Head up to Xtabi to jump and lounge in the sun and plug in my own non reggae music over the sound system and drink my dinner in bananas. Catch a music show at night or head to cosmos or beach house villas for a dinner of pepper shrimp. Sometimes if I head out with locals I have known for many trips at night we go to scrub a dub or the roof top. Return to room 2-3 am and walk down to pier docks by the roundabout and walk out on them and sit to relax with the sounds and smells of the ocean waves crashing against the stone talking with all the street folks on my way down there. Return to room 3-4 ish. Sleep a little and start all over again. Getting a little too old for Jungle and Scrub type activities so this trip kindle will be loaded full of books and other than craft market, and st. Anthony's I will be found on the lounge chair next to the jump platform at Xtabi with a hell of a smile if you dont see me there look in water below.LOL
