Apologies for the hiatus - I just started a new semester so I've been busy.
Soon come?
That afternoon we walked down to Sunset After Dark. We saw an interesting scene take place there – only in Jamaica. A car pulled up outside. A guy went to the trunk and pulled out an arm load of kingfish and a scale. He approached three women that were sitting at a table. The queen bee of the group said (in an American accent), “ I told you I only want one.”
Back to the trunk. He returned with only one fish, the scale and they concluded business. Where else can you do your grocery shopping from the comfort of a bar?
We slid down the beach to Canoe (there actually is a little beach there). We had a couple drinks there and took in Canoe’s Van Gogh colors.
We talked about going on the Love Bus. We were feeling romantic though and decided just to keep each other company that night.
Next stop was Mi Yard. That is a relaxing place. The porch chairs are what I was talking about when I said we found some Cubism too.
I don’t mean to suggest that both arms are on the same side of the chair though. That was an art history joke (and I apologize).
We had a couple of beers with ice on the deck and waited for the peanut lady to come by. We could here her steam whistle approaching. The Jamaican peanuts are so good. Alfred says the shells are tender because they don’t use artificial fertilizer. We watched the sunset there.
We stopped at Chicken Lavish for dinner. I’d heard good things about their coleslaw. If you like your coleslaw with vinegar dressing it’s good, if you’re into creamy style coleslaw, no dice. We had their chicken combo half jerk half fried. Both were good. After dinner I had a mind expanding conversation with the owner. Mrs. Peel looked beautiful that night.
I was happy to be going home with her.
