Looking back at the food pic from Geejam, that shrimp plate REALLY was begging for some green on it....know what I mean?

In front of us were a couple of young girls, Europeans I believe and they were with a large group who sat farther back. The two ladies were posing for their gentleman friend, and I can never pass up the oportunity for a photoshoot....whether they knew it or not!

sprat, all the times i've been to frenchmen's there has been very few ppl, lots of times, i've been the only guest . . . glad to see more ppl . . . love all your portie pics, by far, my favorite jamaican place . . .
On the way into the Cove...I had chatted with this gentleman about a braclet with the red seeds that I had seen earlier from the Rasta on Long Bay beach. I didn't like the clasp he had on it, and I told him that I would buy it on the way out, if he could change the clasp. Of course he was eager to accomodate for the sale, and I picked it up when we left.
I saw this other man in a car smiling and pulling away...and I thought he kind of looked like a younger version of Jamie Fox. What a smile...
We drive up the road, and you probably don't realize how close in proximaty everything is. Just a stone's throw from our hotel are all these beautiful places to discover. As we enter the Blue Lagoon area, we hear that there was a storm that mashed up a lot of this area. We drive down the narrow road...the back of all the expensive villas on the left and enter the lagoon area itself.
At the top of the road was a raftsman who wanted our business. $6,000 J for a likkle ride up the waterfront to see the villas...but we were not biting. As I had mentioned the waves were up and a boat had captsized up the way, and the boat patrol police were there to help out.

Awesome!! I could literally walk right into your pictures it is as if I am there. I am going to jamaica soon for four days and yes I know it is short but better than nothing. I am going back next year for fourteen days and plan on going to Portland.
Thanks for this
We were ready to leave...took a few more photos of the overturned boat on the reef and it was getting late in the day, but I really wanted to do Winifred Beach....
If you look at this photo, you can see the boat up the way that is stuck....
A better view of the boat....
Hubby chatted up the bartender while I walked the beach and talked to the vendors and took photos. A nice relaxed, laid back beach....not hair pulling or begging for money. A few polite requests...but nothing over the top.
Very few people on the beach....a couple with their young children and a elderly couple reading their books under a tree.
Met a nice Rasta who was doing some carving work on his gourds. What an art that is, and to watch him work was pretty cool.
I decided to walk up to the end of the beach where the old boat was...and I could some of the other eager vendors waiting for my arrival at their table. I thought to myself....on a beach like this it must be terribly hard to make a living. A few requests to buy some jewelry but I was pretty firm with my 'No thank you' answer. It just has to be that way....or a person would be broke traveling and buying.
This old boat seemed a perfect prop with a gorgeous background of the blue waters....
Thanked them all for their time and showing me their crafts....so I turned around and headed back to the bar area...
I walked past the Rasta carver and walked towards the cool looking painted bar...
