This guy was also working at the same stand. He cut open a piece of fruit for me to try. I wish I could remember what it was called. It was GROSS. it had a mushy texture and too many seeds. I was polite and didn't spit it out like I wanted to. Didn't want to be disrespectful.

I think the lady in the background may have been laughing at my antics after just trying that piece of fruit.

...so then this guy comes bouncing up to the fruit stand, singing "RRRRIBBA-DIBBA-DING-DANG, SLAP YOUR KNEES AND CLAP YOU HANDS IF YOU LOVE JESUS". Now my DH who is a musician and loves rolling his "R"'s perked right up and started singing and dancing with him. I do have a video of this but still don't know how to get the videos to post here. So here are some pictures of that moment. Wish I could show you the video too.

So after some shopping, we were thirsty and I was in need of the ladies room. This would prove to be learning experience in JA restroom physics. We decided to try to find a bar where we could have a beer and I could perhaps use facilities. So we wondered about town a bit.

The rolled tobacco is called "donkey rope". You slice it and then smoke it "Ital" or in a smoking mixture. It tends to be strong tobacco.

Here's one of favorite photo's in Petersfield. While we were sitting along this river bank, I asked Mr. T who was in the picture that he had pinned on his hat. He said it was Haile Salassie, the Emporer of Ethiopia. He told us what a great man he was and how he went before the League of Nations when Mussolini was spraying chemicals on the people of Ethiopia. He told us that he had visited Jamaica once and there were huge crowds when he arrived!

my DH finally spotted a sign, that from the distance he thought read "Bar". Well close enough. The "BAP" was indeed a bar, be in a very primitive one, but nonetheless, a bar. I wondered if they ran out of paint in painting the R on bar and just left it as a P. probably not.
