This lady pulled up in a van with a taxi driver and asked if she could braid our hair. She liked to call us Sexy... so funny! They have learned what will get them tips. The taxi driver told us that he loved our blue eyes and kept talking until we blushed. They drove us up the mountain to this amazing overlook of the city. They sat us on a bench underneath the shading jungle. They fed us there "juicy patties" Mine was soy- SO, SO, yummy!!!! I wish I could get one here. Delicious! We didn't even realize this could be unsafe until the taxi driver asked us if we were city girls. We said not big city and asked him why? He said most people would be to scared and wouldn't trust them. Hum.... maybe we'll think harder next time. Although he explained that tourism is so much of there economy that if they ever did anything to mess that up they would probably literally be killed by the other locals. So, They dropped us off right at our dock we didn't have to walk everywhere and it was probably by favorite experience of the trip. We also heard them speaking Patwa? no idea how to spell that- it's English but they shorten every word and they all speak very fast so it's hard to understand to the untrained ear but very fun to heard them speak. Mom, Just remember I'm home safe :)

I wondered who braided your hair! I loved it...you have the face for it!! :)
I remember those hair braiding places on Jamaica, Mon! Sounds like you got a good taxi driver. Most of the workers at the Ocho Rios, Del Sol store are LDS. It was fun talking to them about Utah when we were there. We loved the bargaining on Ocho Rios as well.
