    Good you wanted Rum I do not remember any of the other shelfs have much on them.
    I remember the juke box and the Al Green tunes playing when we stopped in for a Dragon Stout on the way to the beach.
    Here a few more Bell Ringers.

    Negril's beach always had a surprise waiting for you. From Topless to White Socks and Shoes to a Smugglers Boat.

    Here a picture of me driving the Brigantine you see on the horizon. Interesting stories about that ship.

    Bob, I do believe the photo with the guy in the white shirt on is going to Mrs. Browns. You don't have a Photo of the little old lady that sat under the tree below the new construction up on the hill at the roundabout who cooked Banana Fritter on a 1 burner stove.
    Would love to hear the story about the sailboat, are the brown squares on the side patches over holes? That is what it looked like from the beach. I will post a photo of who I thought was the Captain.

    ah yes, mrs brown's... we brought ingredients from her and made the wonderful tea. also brought her key ingredient and she made us great cakes... or at least that's what i think i remember, ha. missed the banana fritters, i bet they were great. i seem remember living on fruit and juice from roadside stand just up the hill from where we stayed, and every night, ate grilled snapper and lobsters outdoors at picnic tables in someones yard. was 3 dives around in 79?

    i think you can right click (or control click) and hold on a pix and it will allow you to save to your desktop. see if that works...

    The young kid with the brown hat in the photo was the mushroom man the month I was there and we would get a pint milk carton full of fresh rooms early in the morning from him for $10j and walk to the beach and enjoy them with a Dragon Stout and watch and walk the beach. Then walk back up to the West End, that was a good day.

    Yes, you could buy rum and cigarettes and not much else. I did not smoke but my buddy did. You could also buy cloth bandages, which I needed because of all the coral cuts I would get from going after lobsters. I was amazed at how well those band aids would stick in the heat and humidity. They were a lot better than the band aids sold back then in the US.
