Community Center/ Last meal

Monday was a lazy morning. Marie and I tried our hand at snorkeling one more time. The water was cloudy, so we decided to stay out of the water. I tried to tan for a while, but I think I failed pretty miserably. After lunch we walked down to the community center in Belmont and saw where Carrie works. Next door is a sewing shop, where woman from the comnmunity make napkins and other items to sell, as well as do repair work on resident's clothing. Marie picked out a few napkins to buy. We wandered around Belmont and the beach untill Carrie got off work.

The villas next to Scott and Carrie are vacation get away sites for familys, and each Monday they do a social cocktail hour. Scott and Carrie are invited by the owners to come and discuss their experiences in Jamaica. Marie and I got to tag along and we were there with only one other couple from Pheonix. We discussed education and Jamiaca over a couple of drinks and then we excused ourselves to go catch dinner. We walked next door to a small roadside restaurant. We looked for Jerked chicken, but sadly the stand was out. We settled for Curry goat, fried chicken and festival. Festival are little deep fat fried corn ball dumplings. Yum.

We continued the merriment when we got home and participated in Jamican wine tasting. The islands only label of wine is RED LABEL WINE. I would describe it as a cherry juice that has fermented. There was LOTS of sugar involved. We also bought a ginger wine and a tonic wine called "Magnum" which is suppose to "put lead in your pencil" and the guy that sold it to us said it was "Magnum-ificient." The ginger wine tasted like red label wine except for the after taste, which was ginger. The tonic wine tasted like red label wine, except for the aftertaste too. It tasted like wet chicken, or branding cattle. Jamaica wine tastes like branding cattle.
