today is friday, sept 14th 2012, and we have to leave Negril today...what a buzzkill, but have to get back to reality...
I get up at 6am, do my morning stroll, I get Janet some coffee and she gets out at about 730..
Michael already has her chair set up by itself,
while I am enjoying watching the beach get itself ready for another day, I reflect on the trip we had, all the good times and all the friends that we will miss.
the locals are setting up, getting ready for the chance to help a tourist with their vacation needs, lol,
I guess life in negril will go on business as usual without us here, and it will still be here waiting for us when we return....
as I am sitting here, a local which I had not seen before, came strolling down the beach, you could tell he was selling something...remember this is about 7am, so not many people out yet, he stops at tamboo, and yells about his "clearance sale"....2 for 1 buds...he pulled out a handfull of big long buds and right out in the open, announcing his sale....he stopped at legends and showed one guy, heard him clear this time...clearance sell, new crop coming in...everything 2 for 1...the guy said no thanks, and salesman moved on to me...before I could say anything, Michael sent him away...he got to kuyaba, and these 2 guys were setting up their chairs, just got in last night, they told the salesman....he pulled out the clearance items, the guys asked how much, the said 40.00 a bud, but u get 2 for 1, lol....(It was a 5 dollar value at the most) about this time, the security from kuyaba walked over the break up the transaction...the guys paid what was asked and got what was offered...as the salesman walked away smiling, the customer looked to his buddy and said "see, i told you ...I told you we wouldn't have trouble finding it...You better believe me..." so both customer and salesman were happy.....I've seen many higgglers seeling the goods, but not out in the open like that...another only in negril moment....
while sitting on the beach, beachdog comes and joins me...
last few shots down the beach, again the kuyaba boat in my pic
michael setting up the chairs, you can see janets set up to the side with our stuff
