...continue-ing...

Whew !!!
i'm tired

up all night before leaving, and running around all day and night 'til now

but,
i promised to type more
..so will do a few snippets, and fill in blanks later

un-packing done
earlier in-country, folks surprised to see me back so soon
....folks STILL chattin' 'bout my last trip, fresh-killed-curried goat mourning for mom .... more on THAT later

had a looooooooooooooooooooooooong *chat* with my landlord about my house-for-me plans ..... he not happy [[[[[ that's happy with two-P's ]]]]

again, more on THAT later, too
...be patient with me


for now,
back to my arrival ----- taxi man tried every trick in the book to get more-money from me ---- it broke his likkle heart that this fre$h-from-foreign old-man was gonna get away with a Ja $120 taxi fare
lol
lol
lol
he offered to drive me to Lucea for 'bout US $20, but i wasn't buying what he was selling

then, as he tried and tried, i threw him a curve ball:::>>>> '''...hey,,,, let me out at KFC, and i'll walk to the bus park ......wanna get something something for a Lucea friend.'''

he not happy ... with two p's

i hope out
get bags trunk,
and enter KFC

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
place soooooooo clean .... they frying a heap 'o chicken, but the place don't smell

i order the popcorn chicken ... 'bout Ja $320 ... brain tired right now

bottom line::>>> i tasted just-one piece, and changed my gift-ing plan ::::: ate it ALL

:-(

start my stroll
pulling one bag, and back-pack thingy with wheels, on my back

it felt sooooooooo good to be back in Jamaica ....... felt like i never left ..... was NO re-learning curve for me today ....... i was in my groove.

it was a SMART move on my part to make this trip at the time I did, 'cause school was in session, and there's a laid back vibe to the town ....Lucea same way.

...and the food.....!!!!!
food every-where, in stores, on side-walk, in the streets, on the corners, on wheels, in carts, etc etc.... all the things i love love looooooooove

saw avacados that looked a swollen softball.
...WILL be getting one of those Friday, for sure

ginneps ginneps and mo' ginneps .... got two BIG bunchs @ Ja $100 each
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i *wonder* what dem charge, over-so in Negril
ummmmmmmmmmmmmm

stay tuned for the ginnep video

i don't want to [[ 'cause i tend to get carried away ]]]
but
i must comment::::>>>> the Jamaican ladies are STILL beautiful

* sigh *

be sure to leave the hip strip
and explore the area around SamSharpe Square
