It was exciting and cutthroat. They have a central craft market in Montego Bay where many vendors are bunched together, each selling roughly the same items and trying to get you into their store as opposed to their next door neighbors. There are lots of bargains to be had, if you work hard -- but the vendors are good negotiatiors, too. Still, very interesting crafts, and we took more than a few home. I especially liked the gray stone which would not scratch, regardless of what you rubbed it on . . . of course, I forgot what it's called!

If you venture into town to do some shopping, be prepared to haggle. It was a little aggressive for me...I found myself becoming frustrated with the approach of the locals. So, if you must shop...take your patience along with you.
