Over the years I have learned that most Jamaicans dress their best when they go out pon di road.
The place I stayed I was lucky enough that my porch was right in the center of the yard. Kinda like a perch I could watch the coming and goings. Security and housekeeping..waitress and the ladies at the fruit stand out in front.
I would notice them arriving dressed up toting lots of bags. They would change and begin their days, trying to keep out of the sun as much as possible.
When the day was done they would freshen up at the pipe and check themselves in a little piece of mirror hanging on one of the posts. They would again be road ready, smelling sweet and nice with powder fresh on their chests.
