    Nice Marko!! Really like those. Not to mess up da thread but where do I find these??

    Back to your question Tattoo...I use to bring home the typical items yet after years of shopping, I now mainly bring cooking items that I can't get in our small area. You know what I mean since you are in the same state....spices, curry powder, masala from the Indian store, cock soup mix to use as base for many soups, powdered coconut milk...cheap and easy to transport, fresh nutmeg and the list goes on. I still peruse the jewelery of course for those unique items. And cool sarongs are also nice to have, not only to wear but nice to use decoratively around the house.

    On our first trip I met a man who walked on the beach singing Three Little Birds, and selling little carved birds. I bought one, decided to make it a quest for next few trips. I finally found the third last winter. Hmm, what will be my quest now? Rastagirl, did you find sea glass in Negrl? I love to find it, haven't had any luck in Negril,

    I go to the Just Natural Restaurant and pick up some of Kristina's home-made sauce that she bottles up .... is wonderful sauce, the type that makes your nose run
    I always come home with coffee beans. Also a few packets of dry Grace Fish Tea & dry Mannish Water. Usually pick up some Walkerswood seasoning because I can't find it easily in the States when I need it. In the past I've picked up small bottles of some that fine tonic water that's supposed to enhance the bamboo ..... different brand names bring laughter across the room..... But I'm particularly fond of: "Put it een Wine"

    We do the large bagged spices, coffee, unsweetened Chocolate sticks & Busha Brown & Walkerwood jerk spices. I grate the chocolate sticks and add it to my Mate Yerba. We can get Busha Brown and Walkerwood at home but it is twice as expensive. Great tip on the all spice berries and nutmeg....will have to remember that next time. No one has mentioned tea bags. I buy a bunch of boxes of sorrel tea bags at High Low to hold me over for the winter.

    Regards,

    Bob

    I've bought lots of art from Karl over the years and yes, it makes a great gift - but it also makes great art for me to hang in my house in JA so some of it stays down there...Karl is an incredibly talented artist.

    Thanks Marko!! I am familiar with Karl but not with Ras Humos! Really intrigued with his work.....hopefully pon next reach, I can hook up with him and check out his portfolio. Guess I'll have to drag miself from the cliffs for a day or so. Last trip, I couldn't believe that we were there over 3 weeks and I think I only made it to the beach 2 times!! Gotta get mi ole backside up and go. Respect!
