Yesterday when I went for a run, I ran right by the landing where the
cruise ships come in. THRONGS of tourists were getting off, all dressed in
floppy hates, sparkly flip flops, large purses, tank tops,long shorts,
big sunglasses and cameras. They were all going in the same direction at
the same speed with the same expressions. I was going the other way. I
felt like a lemming who figured the lemming thing out and refused to
follow the pack. I also felt weirdly invisible.
Figured out the best time to go to the grocery store is after 6. The day
time cruise ship/bus loads of tourists are gone and the locals are out.
They treat us boat people with respect!! They know what we went through
to get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They also love the tourists, as they are a
huge source of income for the island. But the boat people get a nod, and
that is a very cool feeling!!!
