Thank God It's Friday tomorrow...!

Here's Friday's Sundae that I had at TGIF today. Yes, there is a TGI Friday in paradise, too! It's Thursday today still, but the place was busy. Like people elsewhere, people in paradise are so sick of being at work during the week that they can't wait the weekend. Indeed, this TGIF is located on Hope Road... :)

The chocolate and caramel sauce was just so divine and eeeeeevil. 475JMD (before tax - 16%!!), which is nearly US$7.

It was very heavenly to enjoy this formidable thing at that moment, but I had to face the consequence later on. I went to a yoga class and... I could feel the damage it did to my body. It made me heavier, for sure. The sundae was very big, which made it so great at that moment, but...

Oh yes, not only TGIF, but there are also yoga studios in paradise. People in paradise are as stressed as people elsewhere are, it seems, and there are two studios in my neighborhood. One behind the U.S. Embassy and another near the Canadian Embassy. Today, I went to Afya (http://www.afyajamaica.com/), which is on Bamboo Avenue behind the U.S. Embassy. The room is semi-open air and faces a lush green garden, which gives it a serene, out-of-the-(nasty real) world feeling. A drawback is that the studio does not have a changing room, thus people coming from work have to change to yoga attire in a bathroom, but that does not seem to deter the stressed residents of paradise from coming to the studio. The class was full today, with ten residents of paradise, the majority of whom were women. 800JMD (about US$11)/class.
