St. Bess - The Return

Re: St. Bess - The Return


Nothing like a heartfelt, emotional testimony delivered in patois How about the man who could swear like a sailor, but had given his life to Christ? He stood, mike in hand, searching for the right words before finally saying, &quot;Pastor, <span style="font-weight: bold">God damn good to hell </span>yu nuh.&quot; <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Laughing spoil</span></span>, as that one simply cracked me up , but I had to give him a lot of respect I'll remember that one for as long as I live




got be ah classic ..

dis is priceless ..

Re: St. Bess - The Return

After the Safari experience, a quick look around the area while the ladies took off into a store.

Perhaps one of the most congested shops I've even been into, and the owner was not only assisting customers, but he was the only one that was collecting payments. Oh yeah, no cash register either! \o/


I should have bought the &quot;Legend&quot;.






One of the original buildings that warehoused the goods shipped down the Black River.


We were on a tight schedule. Meals at Ocean Breeze were relatively expensive so we decide to eat out before heading back. We found a cool little restaurant with dinner prices of J$270 (large meals), and J$150 for the biggest scoop of ice cream I've ever seen. We delightfully indulged.

I was intrigued at the fact that there were people around town that &quot;traded&quot; foreign exchange. They offered J$70 for US$1, and J$68 for CAN$1. Pretty good rates considering the banks were offering 72 and 68.50 respectively. These guys even &quot;traded&quot; English Pounds.

Hanging out in the lobby was one of the things we did quite a bit of. Sometimes we 'hijacked' the boombox and had a Grace Thrillers CD rocking the lounge.


It was spacious and conducive to socializing.


From the main floor balcony


A wall of blue. As far as the eyes could see, we could not make out the horizon.


Alpart shipping port (bauxite) to the right


Loved the velcro touch; maybe only in Jamaica
