Feb 2015 Trip Report 2/6-2/14

So a few more drinks later, we headed to the German Bar. It was a pretty cool vibe. They had a HUGE screen and while we were there, played a Tina Turner concert & then Simon and Garfunkel show. The service left a lot to be desired. We sat for at least 20 minutes before we could even order a drink. But it still had a cool vibe and I'd go back again.

We caught a ride back to Bourbon Beach and a band was playing. We had a few more round. DH and Mr. T went back to the room to get the guitar and drums and I got my BB groove on. I felt like I was in a meat market for an hour. But it was flattering to a degree. There were several woman much older than myself having a great time with much younger guys, like in their 20's if that. I wondered what their stories were and was glad to see them in such a happy zone and experiencing total freedom. God I love Negril. And the Thumping Bass. And the people. I was dreading that this was my last night here.

So DH and Mr. T rolled back to the beach with guitar and drum in tow. We walked down the beach a bit and stopped at a place, not sure of what it was called, and ordered another round of beer. They had a fire burning. DH and Mr. T busted out the jams.

I walked up the beach a little ways and and in my inebriated state of mind became fascinated with a cooler sitting in the middle of the beach that said "cold coconut".

So I am trolling around the cold coconut sign and then came upon another that said " DABS 420". I was wondering what's up with "DAB's".

So I just keep trolling around looking for more interesting things to photograph and walk towards the Eddies Juice Bar Shack, to take another photo. A guy comes jumping out from behind the counter. Scared me almost sober.

We talked a bit. He told me he needs money to buy his kids food. He invited me behind the juice bar to check out the juicer and DABS. I was drunk but I think DABS is some kind of hash made from oil. Still not positive because the evening is still hazy in my mind. He offered to make me juice, I declined. He showed me various other items that I can't get into here. He kept telling me that he couldn't believe that I wasn't "scared" to hang out with him. He said most tourist would be fearful in the middle of the night. I told him my friend and DH were at the fire and invited him for a beer. We had a couple of beers and jammed and sang by the fire. It was a great time. I wanted to hear more Reggae and invited him to BB and told him I'd buy him another beverage but he said he may be up later but he was tired. I think he went back to sleeping wherever he was sleeping when he popped out of nowhere. DH had a great time jamming on seven mile beach. We had talked about having this moment for the past 2 years so it was great we were actually there living the dream we so often talked about.
