A trip reports of sorts

[irieworld]

So after escaping megamart relatively unscathed and with a good part of the groceries needed--we hit the road. i pop open a warm red stripe (no cold ones in megamart) to blunt the pain of full blown headache, and it sort of helps, so I follow that with another cold one purchased at a little store on the road. I ask Alfred if we can stop in Green Island for jerk and soup at Biggas. Ya mon, no problem. Passing through Green Island Alfred turns to me and says Oh mi God, we passed Biggas. Really the stand was right in front of us but I took Alreds joke hook line and sinker and was wondering out loud if we could go back. Meanwhile he was pulling in. OK ya got me good Alfred! Get conch soup (too hot to drink right then) and jerk. Take a seat on the bench that runs along the back of the jerk stand and sit cross legged--gazing towards the road and the sea. Finally starting to settle into island time. Bigga sharing stories--then alfred and the other guys having a sip of soup at the stand start a round of jokes in patois. Turns out they are pum pum eating jokes. Boys will be boys.
