you would have loved it there!
everything moves a zillion times slower.
they mix drinks doing all these cool turns, and they talk like french-black americans trying to speak with a british accent.
it's so hot.
in the evening, the sun sets and it's all pink, and all of the old men meet in the bars to argue about politics. and play checkers.
they drive on the left side of the road there.
reggae guitarists are amazing. and dreadlocks are a plus. they dance like EVERYONE is watching-showing off, turning, twisting, grinning at imaginary audiences.
I got my hair braided! "call me LaToya!"
and the water is sooo clear. There was a sea turtle, a stingray, a crab, a lobster, a blowfish, coral!!!!
down there, when women talk about each other, they disclaim every sentence with "she has a good heart". just like i do!
there was a lot of time to think--buckle down, katie, stop being indirect, etc.
i missed everyone. all the people i adore get shells. i picked them out on "sunset beach".
it was soo glamorous.
