We met a guy named xxxxxxxxx who lived at Caribbean Delight about 8 years ago. He was originally from xxxxxxxxx. He sold smoke and did tours like a lot of the guys on the beach. The first day we met him we just hung out and talked for a few hours. He had to walk go into town to pick up his mail and asked if we wanted to tag along. First stop was down at one of the fish places by the craft market where he introduced us to his cousin and bought us a drink. Then we went to a place in town where he stopped to have lunch and he actually bought us lunch and wouldn't let us pay for it. Then he got his mail and took us to the caves at Xtabi and gave us the tour. He found out we had never been to Ricks so on we went. He had us give him the money to buy some drinks because the bartenders give the locals a discount. We visited him many times on our trips and had great times for quite a few years and he never asked us for a thing and very seldom would even let us buy him a drink. But about two years ago or so we went and he had gone back to Mandeville. We miss him but were blessed to have him as a friend to show us all the great things there.
) items. After many trips and lots of shopping, I have learned to say no...and already have more items from JA that I really need. Now, I still love to check out everyone's items, mainly to show them respect. However, I love just talking to them and sharing my love for their island. Quite often, they end up sharing some of their opinions with me...or teaching me a few things about Jamaica, cooking..or just life.
