After Dinner: The Gap

Alex, feeling Irie

St. Lawrence Gap is a touristy drag along which there are many restaurants and bars within walking distance from the cottage.
It's not as bad as it sounds and is also right on the water, so very pretty.

One irritating aspect of the area is that there are TONS of people trying to get you to buy things from them, mostly drugs.  While these people were friendly, some of them were ridiculously persistent.

We made our way to a Reggae club.
They actually were playing good, danceable music and I eventually made it to the dance floor and made a new friend, another Steve, since Alex does not dance in public (ha!).

There were many excellent photo opportunities.

I forgot to mention that on our flight in to Barbados we sat next to Arturo Tappin, the sax player for Roberta Flack and a Bajan national treasure, as it turns out.  He recommended that we also visit Hal's for karaoke.  People in Barbados take it SERIOUSLY!

PS, all along, I drank rum punch, but never karaoke'd!

Like the pepper sauce, everyone has their own recipe for the punch, and it is poured straight from the pre mixed jug.

Alex kept to the local beer, Banks, which was pretty good too.
