Three minutes later, we’re on the move. The girls head to the water and I go to visit the Coconutman. I think his name is Clarence…I’m pretty sure it begins with a “C”. You would think I’d remember the name of the man who proposed to me two times…lol.
Anyway, we chat about business and how life’s been treating each other since my last visit. He has lots of huge pineapples. He grows everything he sells. Today he has pineapple and coconuts. I ask about the mangos. I always get my mangos from him. He said "Only one mango did show all season...and a someone thief it."
I get pineapple for the girls and a cold jelly coconut for me.
He has an assistant. This guy peels & cores a pineapple like he’s performing surgery.
He said “Me love cleaning de pine, but me nuh eat it.”
“Oh no??? Never?”
“No, neva.”
I take pictures while I’m waiting for the pine-sculpture finish slicing away at that pine. He takes his time…lol.
