Almost eleven and the neighbor’s air-conditioner rumbles and turns on again -––– the still and extended hum commences. It’s humid and quiet here. Last night the aisles of CVS were filled with people who looked as though they were visiting the city for the first time in a long time, maybe ever. A lot of standing around and talking to each other, holding a few knick-knack items in their hands and arms and asking questions and setting plans. How do you make the most out of three or five days on this island?
