Best and Worst experience with a vendor

[Sheba]

Not wishing to spoil the man's business.
BUT
At a lovely beach ( not Negril) A young man was attracting tourists to visit at the Bob Marley Tree. This tree happened to be the only shade on a long beach close to several A.I. hotels. He had all his wares set up . Mostly CDs , beaded rasta chains and of course his main product He was telling how his Father Bob Marley used to sit under this very tree for inspiration and would have written many of his greatest songs there.
After some banter I asked him how old he was. He claimed to be 26 and I am sure he was exagerating. ( R.I.P Brother Bob, May 11 1981) I had such a laugh with him and his bredrin that when I visited the beach I would hang out at the Bob Marley tree to listen to the stories he would tell prospective customers. I also purchase some nice souvenirs from them

it was not my intention when i posted this but it really got me thinking about all the trips i've been on-

one time in romano DR, where you are hasseled all day by vendors, i noticed a very old lady i mean she must have been 90- she was walking around with and i'm not kidding at leaset 150 sun dresses, every morning she would pass and look at us but never approached to sell anything-

she just smiled as she passed-

on my last morning i approached her and gave her an american 50- i didnt want anything but out of the same respect for her she showed for us i had to do it.

she was beside her self- i got a picture and a kiss on the cheek
