Indeed, the Jamaican sauces, with which we are familiar from island visits, did not stand up to island quality. The booth's Scotch Bonnet Sauce (Scotch Bonnet is a relative of the Habanero pepper), disappointed us by missing the very flavorful pepper taste. We are used to the pepper rings, raw onions, and vinegar (escoveitch) used to anoint freshly fried fish on the beach. This was nothing like it.
Inside the big top, the real competition was going on while we were there. If you wanted to taste and vote, the tent provided a bit of relief from the 97 degree heat. Otherwise, the order of the day was people-watching and music-listening.
At one end of the Waterloo Park venue, the live music prevailed. The band was playing some very nice salsa, accompanied by this woman balancing a flower pot on her head as she danced gracefully.
This couple was getting it done,
entertaining the crowd, and
enjoying themselves doing it. This is not the first time we were jealous of the dancers.
It all starts with the good music, of which there seems no end in Austin.
