We decide to get cleaned up for sunset and dinner, a brief conversation as we’re both down with Chicken Lavish. We come down for drinks at the bar and sunset. A couple more dirty bananas! Yes, I’m back! As we‘re having our drink Charlie drops by and says a friend of his is there that he lets come in once a week to sell his wares. He’s a good guy, Charlie says. Sure, we’ll look at his stuff. So The Original Wicker Man comes over. He has a great spiel. “Nothing is definitive, everything is negotiable until we find agreement that satisfies both parties…” He’s really good, I like him. He does some really nice stuff with wicker. He explains the whole process of harvesting and preparing the vines then working them. Cool stuff but we’re not going to buy any wicker, we have virtually zero souvenir space. Sweetie Pie asks about necklaces and he pulls out a load of them. A lot of stone and anthracite stuff that could come from anywhere, Sweetie is asking about the origin of all the necklace materials. She starts to look at the coconut shell necklaces. Wicker Man says he polished them all himself. They are very nice and very Jamaica. Sweetie Pie tries one on and it’s beautiful. Wicker Man takes the opportunity to gaze at Sweetie Pies breast. “This necklace falls perfectly on your chest,” he says. I smile because he is truly right. I tell her she is giving the go ahead for a lot of guys to ogle her this week, they’ll just be able to say “Beautiful necklace” or “Where did you get that?” but I don’t mind, both her and the necklace are deserving of attention. We make a deal for $20 US. Sweetie Pie gets a lot of comments on the necklace over the week.
