No problem LOL
Marco those pics are fantastic. Like the one of the crafts next door, as I got some really cool jewelry there, and Sandie got some cool stuff too I think. Nice guy that we bought from and makes his own jewelry from what I could see.
Fun looking lil party there... Fun to read trip report, more please :)
well one of the things that happened at the SeaSplash party was having the artist Ras Humos stop by.........
talked to him for years and always admired his artwork and his students.........
we shared some $150J Red Stripe Beers together and I listened to the background on each piece of artwork.........
the depth that Ras goes to into painting these pieces is mind altering stuff...........
http://negril.com/forum/attachment.p...9&d=1337814650
today Ras was having a half price sale.......typically his Pontil paintings go for around $80 bucks.........
and this wasn't some line he was giving mi......mi seen plenty of people in the past fork out $70-$80 for the Pontils
so I spied the one that really was talkie to me........and made mi $40 purchase from an old friend........
it's the one with the orange in the sky on the far right...........

http://negril.com/forum/attachment.p...1&d=1337814708
it's framed now and hanging in the Caribbean section of mi house.......
also Ras Humos gives a special shout out to our friend JaNate.........he says love and peace to you and your son......
Marko your a white guy?? lol got a laugh from that one (Gerryg)

@JaNate- it was your story that first got me hooked on negril.com. Every so often I think about it and wonder how you are doing. Would love to see a recent picture of Justin. I hope all is going well for you. BTW you won't know me because I was only a lurker back then.

here ends the Mayfield Falls segment.......now wi off to the infamous Blue Hole..........
after about a 30 minute drive wi arrive at the Blue Hole.........
nice likkle village feeling to the area though wi didn't see too many people around..........
well the reason for that was the Blue Hole was practically dried up as there wasn't much rain lately........
with it being January and all........but wi didn't have to pay and wi were able to lookie around.......
http://negril.com/forum/attachment.p...7&d=1341417232

http://negril.com/forum/attachment.p...2&d=1341417377
if you never been........then you should try to stop by the Blue Hole........
though I would recommend doing it with like Mayfield Falls cause as a tour by itself it may not be worth it........
of course every trip has to include the infamous Love Bus Pub Crawl.........lol
Tropic Bob and mi met up with Rob and Bnewb and they brought us to MiYard where it all starts.........
wi had around 60 people so there were two shifts getting on and off da bus..........
hit some bars that this guy had never been to before too......like Swordfish and C&D Country Bar.........
just a couple pics as this guy was precoccupied with the drinking chit........lol
pic of mi talking to Bnewb and discussing the BlackBoard menu items at Tayons.........
http://negril.com/forum/attachment.p...2&d=1341447415
and one of the crowd on the bus........this was a really fun time.......
http://negril.com/forum/attachment.p...1&d=1341447398
and kinda inexpensive on the wallet if you didn't drink a whole ton........but nah that's no fun.......lol
if you are ever in Negril.........go on da Love Bus Pub Crawl and have a great time mon.......
Marko aka Hypolyte!
