Day 6

We're in Labadee, Haiti

This is our 2nd time here in Labadee as we were here in 2006 - so therefore we really had nothing planned except going down a 50' water slide.

Just after we turned the corner after getting off the tender boat, wouldn't you know it we spotted the biggest pineapple under the sea, guess who's pineapple it was? If, you guess SpongeBob....ding ding ding you're right. It was an inflatable bounce house is what is was.

We couldn't find the slide then we located in a totally different area and loaded with people. So we decided to let Sam go ahead and play in the water park, which cost the last time and it was free this time. Then we did some swimming at the beach. Walked around and took some beautiful pictures. We stayed completely and far away from the vendors there - they don't know how to take no for an answer.

Oh gosh that just reminded me of something when we were in Jamaica - all I wanted from Jamaica was a beach towel, because we have towels from all the other places. I saw this lady, ok oops she saw me and grabbed my arm and ask me to come to her shop. I ask her if she had beach towels, and ask how much she wanted for them. People really must think Americans are stupid. She wanted to sell me a towel for $30. dolla is what she said. I just laughed and said trying to speak in their tone, but I said 30 dolla too much money, she said how much you pay, I said I pay $10. dolla she said no not much money, I said yes lots of money. Then she said how bout $20. dolla I said no she said how much money you pay, I said I pay again $10. dolla, she said common - I say no too much money and about walked away, she said Ma how bout $15. I said OK how bout $10 she said OK ma. I got my towel for $10. because that's what I can pay in the US of A. There was another lady with us and her daughter and she just laughed so hard and congratulations to me for getting my beach towel for only $10. dolla. Gosh we bought a picture of us in the water falls for $8.00 which was to high for a 5x7 pic and had the nerve to say this picture I sell to you for $8.00 dolla and you can leave a tip....a tip I thought. Yeah I did I gave her a $8.00 tip and a Thank you.
