Smith thanks for sharing and making me hungry!!

usually i would agree,
BUT:::>> for some strange-reason, i don't have PNS (aka PostNegrilSyndrome) ...weird
...the trip was PERFECT
......i managed my time & money exceptionally well
but, of course, more time would have been nice, too
..ice-ing on the cake
lol
lol
they WON'T know who you chat about
...dem no know me as smith
lol
lol
nevertheless,,,, do go .... you'll be glad you did
good food
quick quick in & out service
nice prices
a *thought* ---- i tend to gravitate to places where the residents eat ..... the last-time i was in TapaTop, a few of the customers were the fish-vendor-guys from the Lucea market .... dem on lunch-break ..... they had-to make a 8-minute walk from market to TapaTop for their meal .... passing SEVERAL other good-eateries along the way
Why..??
lol
lol
lol
wanna hang-out wit me..??..
lol
lol
i'm sooooooooooo old, feeble-minded & cheap
.....don't drink
..... only smoke CravenA's
.... have no *friends*
.....don't mess-wit the Ja-ladies (old or young or younger)
bottom-line::::::>>>> 'tis no-*fun* hangin' out wit me
You're welcome
:-)
i GOT-to say '.you're welcome.'
..something-something i *learned* in Jamaica
WHEREAS i always say please & thank-you to folks,
i'm always so-delighted when they ALL-ways quickly respond with a ".You're Welcome."
* sigh *
Jamaica Jamaica Jamaica..land we love
land of the couth
Nope..!!!..
:-(
i don't like Tastee patties
only eat TanTan patties (from Lucea store)
...made fresh from scratch,
.....on-site daily
which reminds me:::::::: on this trip, while in the TanTan pattie shop, I ran into a young-lady who i hadn't seen in over 5-6 years. She use-to-be the cook at the store .... she made the BEST-est beef patties EVER. She was there visiting her old co-workers. Looked older & mature-er...almost didn't recognize her... she remembered me... and commented on how she STILL had & treasured the photograph i'd taken and sold .... opps.... i mean *gave* to her.
this trip, i did eat a nice beef pattie from Hammonds in Negril
...'twas ok
......not as good as the Hammond pattie i had in SavLaMar several years ago
:-)
i LOVE this video thing-y
much much better than still photographs
...and sooooooooooooo easy to do & work-with
you're welcome
i'm having a blast posting these
...a good excuse for me to re-live & enjoy the videos
......much better than writing down trip-notes, too
as for your being hungry
:-(
you lucky
...'cause there're not too-many more food videos & images
........'cause usually i ate it, before remember-ing to photograph
YES...!!..
there'll be a new report,
today....tonight
will post while i'm listening to '.DearPastor.'
..after 9-PM (Jamaica-time)
stay tuned.
be hapPpy
Nope..!!.

but all had scheduling conflicts

i *thought* a '.real.' Jamaican was somebody who was bred, born & raised there
....e.g., they got a Jamaican birth certificate
nevertheless,
all dem folks you meet in Negril are REAL-Jamaicans, TOO
they *might* be a likkle *different* in certain ways
....do things in *different* ways (for tourist consumption)
but they-too are REAL
ONCE upon a time,
on one of my first trips,
i explored the main craft market
met a vendor/shopkeeper lady,
who invited me back-to her shop that evening
to share a meal
[[[ an aside:::>> joking-ly i had begged her for a likkle something-something that i'd seen cooking in a BIG-pot, over a wood fire, in the back of her shop/hut ]]]
since she made the invite
..later that evening, i went BACK to the craft market for-dinner
:-)
when i got there,
i didn't recognize her,
'cause she'd changed her clothing
instead of her '.for-the-tourist.' attair,
she was deck-ed OUT in some snazzy jazzy designer jeans, and a fancy blouse, with her hair uncovered .... without her AuntJamima(sp?) head-covering.
she had-on earrings,
gold rings and more rings on her fingers
and lipstick
no no nooooooooooooooo
'twasn't dress-ed up for me
nooooooooooooooooooooo
'cause she was SHOCK-ed that i came back
came-back alone
..in the dark
...deep deep deep into the bowls of the in-famous Negril craft market, that frigthens many tourist/foreigners
anyhooooooooooooooo
dinner was GOOD..!!..
a fun time, with her and a couple other guy-residents
be hapPpy
p.s... a large percentage of the folks i know and deal wit in-country, and around Lucea and other places work in Negril (and other tourist places)
but, i kinda-sorta unna-stan that *real*-Jamaican thing-y
...'cause many of the folks i deal-wit WILL do a likkle switch-a-roo when around the tourist/foreigners
one more point:::::>>>> i've *learned* & observed that if I'm for-REAL, then other-folks get-real, too
