we get checked in, and walk to the store across the street. we need red stripe, a few juices for me, and wata. we get to the store and get the "no shirt, no service" deal.
I know I am not onthe beach now, as I didn't even think aboout the fact that I didn;t put a shirt on. Just got out of the wata, ya know. Janet waits while I run back and get a shirt. we got in and get our goods, and then stand in line. The store was crowded. 1st a young teenager jumps in line in front of this older jamaica woman, she said something, but the young lad started getting loud and she let him go...then the woman checked out. next it was my turn, with an older local man behind me. another guy (about 30) jumped in front of me, and put his things on the counter. I didnt say anything, I really wanted to, but it is ok. Well the guy behind me didnt think it was ok, and said so. a few words were exchanged, then the line jumper leaves his stuff and runs out of the store....young angry men, they need to slow down, the older guy says...very busy likkle store...janet was amazed at the local gentleman and his girlfriend were shopping for their supplies. He got a huge box full of goods, and they got on his motorcycle and drove off. she was amazed cuz the box was so big, and he had it balanced on the handle bars, dont even know how he could see...
did a likkle more jumping and swimming and it is getting close to 4pm. We have to meet our friends at canoe at 5. Janet takes a while to get ready, so I walk while she showers. I try to walk to eddies debar, but didn't have my map, and was not sure how far it was. come to find out, I was about 100 yds away when I turned aroiund. walked back past catcha, and on to ricks. we stopped there on our 1st trip, it was almost empty, and we never went back. this time it was not empty...here are some pics.
