Is this not an enticing looking come see me photo. Reaches out and says come visit me. Check out that sales lady. Typical shopping venue that you see on the beach.
Go ahead enlarge this photo.
Do it!
Check out the gamut of goods available to purchase that are just visible on the outside display.
Inside there’s even more. I would not even attempt begin to list them all. Hugh vast amount
of merchandise crammed in there.
I prefer to visit these types of businesses, located right there on the beach. So much less pressure to buy something. You can look, ask prices and then stroll down the beach and check out other places. Show up again the next day, check it all out again. Then ask best price. Does not harm just asking. These stores are just like going to a museum, can not see it all on one visit. There is no hurry to buy anything and no pressure.
I usually purchase something right from the gecko. Got to have
a new colorful reggae necklace and some wristbands, just to immediately feel the vibes. Then a shirt or two, and then I get serious near the end of my trip. Gotta check out how much room I have in my bag.
But then again I alway have a plan and room. I go down to Jamaica with this huge bag, just under the fifty pound air plane bag limit.
Inside -shirts -pants -shoes all light weigh summer stuff, collected over since last trip. No sweaters or
jackets or wintry stuff. It’s Jamaica, it’s the Caribbean, it’s warm
365 days...52 weeks a year.
Hand all that stuff out and the people are very grateful. They feel blessed, you feel blessed. My bag is empty, next move fill it up
Conversely there is a huge crafts market just off Norman Manley Blvd near the roundabout. It’s dog eat dog atmosphere. My shop, come see my shop, no my shop, and that goes on and on until you can’t take it anymore and leave. If you like to be hounded and barked at, then this is your spot to buy and hang.
Wow thankfully I made it back
to the beach in one piece.
The beach, the sun, the cool characters, girls and the calm Caribbean water. This is why
I came here.
And the shops just waiting for you to check them out without any hassles. That’s my kind of shop and hang.
SERENITY NOW
Respect
