Rumpolephoreskin's Existential Wanderings in and Around Negril

[me no sen]

My Boardie Down story
Halloween 2004 at LTU. All the usual suspects were there. I struck up a conversation at the bar. My new friend told me that he brought his cold cuts into the country from the US.. He also stated that he was on the cover of Cold Cutts Times more than once. He also spends Thanksgiving week in Amsterdam each year. I didn't get the hints.
He was a generous fellow, sharing his cold cuts will other patrons at the bar. I was able to drive to TPen.
Then Boardie Down.
A glass of sugar wata brings you back quickly.
However, this sudden drop in glucose levels cannot be good.
Everyone please take care!!!!

In cases of acid rescue sugar water or sweet syrup.
OK for real emergencies or greenhorns otherwise . . .

IMO if you catch a wave THAT good - ride it

Day 6 cont . . .
We got back into Alfred's van and headed for Sav. I don't know if Alfred figured out I was a history buff or if what happened in Sav was just good fortune. More on that in a bit. On the road Alfred was telling us that his father always ate ackee raw. At some point he stopped the van and picked an ackee blossom, giving it to Mrs. Peel to try raw.


I had some too. I found it to taste a little milky and a little nutty.

In Sav Alfred took us to a harbor like set of old buildings hidden behind this wall.


The harbor was one of the most photogenic locations I'd seen on the trip.


The harbor had an unsavory history that clouded its beauty. I think you can see that reflected in Mrs. Peel's face.

[Jbizek]

Are we going to hear about this unsavory history?

[Rum-polephoreskin]

Alfred explained that the harbor had been used to service the slave trade in colonial Jamaica.


Look at the small building (about 10X10 Ft) hidden behind the bouganvilla on the extreme left side of this picture. Alfred said up 15 slaves at a time were held there.


There is no denying the history. Rather than be Capt. Buzzharsh I'd like to point out that the "island of water and wood" is doing it's best to cleanse the gloom, the bouganvilla is growing wild.



We were tired when we got back to Xtabi. We dined there that evening. George was our waiter and he is extremely affable. Xtabi's dining area is island-upscale so I asked George first before sparking one. He asked if I minded waiting until the table to our right finished, "The smoke might bother them." After they left I inquired again.

"No problem mon."

I had the conch steak that evening because I'd enjoyed their conch burger so much. The conch steak at Xtabi was the best meal I'd had in a week of fantastic meals. One word: Orgasmic!!!!


Next up "The Big Day."

What would you call the tour you took? I'm a history buff as well, minus the bird sanctuary I'm interested in taking a similar tour. I gotta admit I'd love to find your sandwich maker too!

errata

If you occasionally want something better than beach schwag but don't have a good connection you may want to try this trick when you feel the need to "turn I loose". After a good meal ask your host for something better than average and have him add it to your meal bill. I did this a number of times with excellent results. Let me post a caveat to accompany this idea: you might want to wait until you're back at your digs.

I'll explain.
One night (I've purposely taken this out of time context to protect the innocent) I placed this order and indulged before we moved on. Mrs. Peel had to step in when the bill came because I didn't think the bill was high enough. I sure was. I checked the record with Mrs. Peel to make sure alcohol wasn't a factor in the next part of the story, she said we'd had two beers with our meal. The reason I asked is because we were walking home on the west end road and absolutely the only way I could maintain a modest sense of equilibrium was by stiff arming the wall of Samsara and La Kaisers. I'd weave hard to the right, then stiff arm the wall to get back to an upright position. I was for all intents and purposes kneewalking buzzed. That spliff laid me lower than any herb I've ever tried before in a rather jaded lifetime.

That was a wave.

Be advised and enjoy!

[Jbizek]

Ok that is a GREAT tip. Your going to have to PM me some restaurants were this worked for you. And we always indulge back in our place. Never in public. If someone passed me something I am sure I couldn't refuse but otherwise we keep legality in mind.
And another boardie down story! Love those!
