7/10/14 thursday, day 7

Cloudy with a chance of liquid sunshine? The weather looked rain so I decided to hang around Port Antonio.

Breakfast today, cheese omelet. So good. I met Kashawna, Mrs. Scott’s helper. A slim, pretty young lady of 19. The daughter of one of Mrs. Scott’s closest friends, Kashawna, from Kingston, has been staying with the Scotts for about a year. Not only does she help with the cleaning and cooking, Kashawna is like a big sister to Mrs. Scott’s cute as a babydoll granddaughter, Nyla. She will be leaving soon to attend the university. I know the Scotts are going to miss this studious young woman when she leaves.



Decided to get the attention my horrid feet desperately needed. Tried a new salon..this one is located on the same lane as Tim Bamboo. It’s been there for a while so I figured they were established with a solid client base.



The massage and pedicure was fantastic, the best I ever had!! I could tell the tech not only knew what she was doing, but she enjoyed it. Spent a good 75 minutes working on my feet and calves. I like this salon more than the one I usually go to. The staff made me feel comfortable being there. Didn’t feel like a “foreign” customer, but just a regular woman coming in seeking help for her jacked-up feet.

I bought my own polish, which was bad. The color was dull and the liquid was lumpy. They tried to make it work, and even apologized although it wasn’t their fault. I apologized for bringing a defective product for them to use.



While I was watching the Crosby show waiting for the polish to dry, a man came to the salon. A very LARGE man whose body blocked out the sunlight coming through the doorway. I heard him ask about pedicures. How much & how long. Then he asked about having nails done. He was told they don’t do manicures. I was surprised to hear that. He thanked them and went on his way.

Toenails dry, paid the tech and went on my way. Going to hang out at the good old marina. I know, I know…just how many more pictures can me post of the marina???? Please bear with me as I so love the peacefulness of that place. I visited the pier twice this visit, but I’m going to combine the pictures and stories to this one post.

BUT before the marina…I needed FOOD!
