Sunsets, Rum, Sand and Gizzadas 97 Days in Negril

The Time – Spliff Continuum

Yesterday was one of those days that just unravelled into a strung-out series of beach walks, bars, taxi rides, swims and disjointed conversations. You’ve probably experienced some of them yourself.

I’m sitting here in a shady gazebo, looking out over the emerald waters and listening to the waves shushing up on the sand. It is already hot, but a cooling breeze is wending its way through the tables, chairs and palm fronds. I’m looking back on yesterday and trying to recall just what it was that I did. But all I’m getting is a jumble of unassociated images. Understand – I’m not a large consumer of alcohol or herb or anything that falls into that general category. Never was. So my inability to recall exactly what I did yesterday cannot be contributed to an excess of intoxicants. One of our crew attributed it to the ‘time-spliff continuum’ which sounded pretty good, so lacking a better explanation I’m going with that.

Here are things that come to mind in no particular order;
- a glorious, Jet Ski free, swim in the sea
- a long, very hot pre-noon walk along the beach from White Sands into town.
- a cool down in the Burger King
- asking JT why he still uses traveller’s checks WTF? Do they still make traveller’s checks?
- Desperately seeking some shade.
- a late night party at the Sea Splash bar. A great group of people and a fun time.
- Watching the sunset at Sun Beach, seeing a green flash! Nice sunset, better green flash.
- walking home from Bourbon Beach at midnight and being accosted by three persistent hookers.
- an early morning walk up the beach to where the path in the trees starts, dodging horse poop in the sand on the way back.
- listening to WeedEye complain about her beach name.
- saying goodbye to three of da boyz
- eating sour sop on a beach lounge.
- realizing that I was being bitten by sand fleas and remembering that I’d forgotten to apply Muskoil cream
- Drinking beer at Sunnyside – Robert was there!
- waking up after a 40 minute nap in mid-afternoon.

It was a busy day, but I didn’t do anything

EGGS! EGGS! the egg shortage appears to be over.

I still use traveler's checks! Hate to pay a taxi to take me to a cash machine to stand in line. Suppose if the places I stayed at didn't accept them, I wouldn't use them, but for me they're totally easy and obviously risk free.
