The concrete benches would be an option if they weren’t directly in the sun. I needed shade or risk being cooked by the rays and getting sun poisoning again. So I kept walking and taking pictures hoping one of the gazebos would empty out soon.
Thirty minutes later I gave up on the gazebo idea and decided to head back into town for fruit and then back to the room to write.
VI...thanks for the wonderful picsWe are renting a car in November ( first time ) and heading to Duncan's Bay...Port Antonio and then back to Runaway Bay and then Negril.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Jackie, I can't say this with enough enthusiasm, but you and your amazing photo skills are going to love Port Antonio.

I've got to get back to Runaway Bay...

Two hours later the child is still talking!!!! I had not written a word in the journal and my listen meter was timing down.
LOL she was a delightful young lady of 22 whose passion is cooking. In fact, 90% of the conversation was about that.
Her breezy personality provided the spice to make visualizing the preparation of each recipe interesting and fun. She explained how to prepare, from start of finish mind you, mannish water, ackee & saltfish, jerk chicken, curry goat, escoveitch fish, rice & peas w/coconut milk, festival…I’m sure I forgot 2 or 3 dishes but you get the picture. She prides herself on using her own special blend of seasonings and techniques.
I was impressed with not only her apparent culinary skills but her love of the art taught to her by her grandmother.
Obviously by this time, I’ve got a football player’s size appetite and she looks like she could stay in that Paula Deen mode for another two hours. I’ve got to end this now….
“I hope I’m not holding you up from something.”
“No, mam’, waiting for my boyfriend. But I can’t call him because me credit finish. So I wait for him to call me.”
“Well hunnybunn...lets go get you some credit!”
We strolled down the hill, across the street and into a grocery store to buy a 500J digicel credit voucher. I know there’s a way I can share credit from my phone, but I didn’t want to get into that practice with anyone sooooo I came out of pocket for her.
She was very grateful and so were my ears….and eventually me belly.
This sounds like something you would do. Loving as always you report.Originally Posted by *vi*
