Tuesday - The Magic Bus (Ooh Yeah, The Magic Bus)
We’re up early this morning, we’re going to catch the sunrise. Water is boiled and we break open the High Mountain coffee we bought at the store on Sunday. Grab the Banana Rum Cream and we’re up to the rooftop for the unveiling of the day. It is greeted with much pleasure and anticipation. We brought Manda home with us last night. She got a little carried away at the Belly Flop and we put her to bed early with only minimal fuss. We roust her this morning and she’s a little grumpy, especially because we’ve already finished the coffee. She grabs a quick smoke on the porch before we get going.
I grab a bankroll for the day and move the cash stash, letting Sweetie Pie know where I put it. We have a brief conversation with the landlord. We talk about sheets and towels. I tell him we’re good, don’t need to waste water, we’ll let him know when they smell He likes this. “You’re a real Jamaican, mon,” he says, “Respect.” I let him know we’re touring today, we’ll be back late. He says he heard us trying to turn on the stove today before using the electric water kettle. “I’m sorry, shoulda done it already but you said you wouldn’t be cooking much this trip.” “No worries, mon,” we say and we head out. Manda just can’t resist fooling with the dogs in the yard. They’re very cute…
Sweetie Pie wants to grab some shots of street dogs. She has a website she’s created about them. We’re hoping to find Scar, our ever present street dog pal from February. We do get a lot of shots but I’ll leave the selection of the dog shots and where they are posted to Sweetie Pie. We do grab a few other beauty shots on our way up the lane.
