The main purpose of returning to margaritaville was to linger on their wifi and splurge for another bottled water. Lots of folks at m’ville today. I felt like turning around and going back but an empty table to the side looked safe so i claimed it.
No wifi. A waitress said sometimes the signal goes in an out. Maybe. But that was my cue to move on. It was begining to feel like Ocean City NJ.
Took my time reaching my goal getting to Travelers. It’s HOT so my pace is slow taking advantage of any small patch of shade I could find. Of course I took pictures along the way. Not really thinking about anything. just appreciating the sunshine, blue sky and the waves taunting me to my right.
I look to see the cranky fruit vendor at her table. She had more vegetables on display and although tempting, I couldn't walk over and give her a little business after the scene she caused the other day. But I made sure she saw me. She looked away and I continued walking.
It was a peaceful stroll along the shore...until
A gentleman promoting a massage place approached me to ask if i would be interested in their services. I said “no” to everything he offered. When he got to the end of his list, he bid me a pleasant afternoon. I returned the same and took a few steps onward with my journey.
Just as I was about to take a picture of a lovely ocean scene as there were plenty that afternoon, a wiry, beach dwelling rasta faced me and loudly asked me
"What is it???? Are you afraid of Jamaicans or do you dislike or distrust Jamaicans? I see you walking alone everyday. You don’t talk to anybody. You don’t want anybody to talk to you. You always look angry and mean."
oh for heavens sake...scolded again??!?!!
He waved his arms like I was a hopeless case. Added how I like loneliness and being in a world full of people but living among them all alone.
"Go..." he roared and shooing me on..."Go continue on and enjoy your loneliness. Have lots of fun in your lonely world."
Okay, even if I did have my pepperspray tucked between my breasts, no matter how tempting it would have been to spritz him just to shut him up, I wouldn't because I guess I do look out of place walking that long stretch without a companion(s). The only people walking alone are moving vendors. But what I don’t understand is why being solo bothered him so much he went on a rant in like that in public.
I need shade and to compose myself. I needed the shade most of all.
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....Originally Posted by *vi*
Vi, I'm enjoying your report and hanging on to every colorful word, it's tasty!
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

He was probably missing that screw that would hold him all together...lol
Well, you were enjoying your solitude before he came along....he just wanted your attention.
I've had plenty of folks approach and try to "read" me. Hey, I'm alone because I get along quite well with myself!
goldilocks,I hear you...most men who approach me feel I need company but the right one hasn't crossed my view yet. They think they are the one I've been holding out for so they give their skills a try. When I let them know my deal, they move on. This guy took my being alone as being anti-Jamaicans?? He didn't appear to want my attention.
Nothing wrong with enjoying your own company. As goldilocks said, he was just probably wanting your attention although going about it the wrong way. Beautiful pictures!
I wouldn't want to buy anything either from the fruit lady.
