Okay, so the part that I forgot to mention yesterday is that while we were waiting for nightlife time to start, we walked to the local grocery store!
One thing I really like doing in foreign countries is going to grocery stores, because it’s cool to just kinda see what the local stuff is all about.
And specifically, we went to that grocery store because I’m absolutely obsessed with Barbados hot sauce.
So, there’s this random unlabeled bottle of spicy sauce at every meal of the hotel. And I’ve been pouring it on everything.
Because it’s random and unlabled and I’ve never tasted exactly anything like it, I just assumed it was something special and unique that the hotel made.
But THEN there was something incredibly similar on the Catamaran Cruise. And then we had to know – what is that?!
And apparently, there’s just special Barbados hot sauce, in all sorts of brands! It’s like the local thing down there. So, we walked to the grocery store to grab some. And in the store, Alex asked a man who was walking in the aisle what brand he recommended.
And he was so super helpful! He recommended “One Drop,” but none of us could find it anywhere on the shelf. So, Alex and I picked a random one and moved on.
So, Friday morning, Alex and I had a little time before we went to Mount Gay. So, I made a little run to the post office.
One thing I loved about the post office was when I looked up, the tubes for air conditioning or whatever were green! Everything is so bright and wonderful in Barbados! Even random tubes in the post office.
I sent some hot sauce home, and to my dad. I also stopped by a little store where I got some souvenirs.
Everyone was so incredibly sweet. I was fatter than I wanted to be, going to Barbados, but people were always commenting me on my ‘curvy body’, like it was the ‘perfect Barbados body,’ so that was something! haha (I mention that here because specifically the sweet woman at the shop said I had the perfect Barbados body.) Even though I was heavier than I wanted, everyone always made me feel like one of the prettiest people on earth. So, if you’re fat, but you’re curvy, go to Barbados and they’ll make you feel loved.
(Everyone was SUPER nice. I didn’t meet a mean person in all of Barbados.)
So, after my errand running, it was time to go to a cocktail-making class with Alex. And that’s what we’ll talk about tomorrow.
