What part of “No” don’t you understand?

We slept in today, ate breakfast, then went ashore around 1:30 in Jamaica. Our detour took us to Montego bay. We didn’t really have time to do any sight seeing, though we were harassed by taxi drivers quite relentlessly. They all wanted to take us on a tour of the island. We did a little shopping in the touristy mall thing, picked up some Rum and souvenirs and stuff. The taxi drivers kept following us from store to store. Erin kept getting offers to have her hair braided, and the old standby Carmen Miranda’s kept wanting their pictures taken. Shop owners all escorted us around their shops. We did find a couple of shops where the people weren’t too pushy. Erin bought a wraparound dress & top thing. Other than that though, we didn’t have much time for anything.
