Today is Reach Falls Day…YAY! Tommy was right on time picking me up. He’s been before, but not with ME! LOL

I LOVE this Long Bay ocean view from the road!



We stopped in Long Bay to buy cooked white rice. I gave him 1000J. “Try to get a pot full!” He gave me a wave then went inside.

To get the party started, I pulled out my MP3 player & speaker. It was on the R&B set which means the reggae chunes will queue on the way back. Perfect.

He comes out with a small, styrofoam container…about 4 cups of rice. Hands me 800J change and says that’s all they have. “What are you going to do with the rice?”
“I told you last night! I’m going to feed the fishies. This is not going to be enough.”
“They said they couldn’t spare more than that. It’s early, dem just start cook for the day.”



We pull off listening to Macy Grey, When I See You. Tune was upbeat enough to take my thoughts off of asking him to stop somewhere else for more rice.

Here’s a video of part of the drive there. This gives you an idea of what those back, deep in the country roads look like. And of course the lush vegetation makes a nice scenic view.
