Tuesday morning, got up and did the morning walk. I was really proud of myself by now – I had only missed one morning all week! We discussed how this was the last year of their 25 year contract for the timeshare and they were deciding whether or not to come back next year. I am alarmed at the possibility of them not being here next April and know that Negril won’t be the same for me without them and I’ve only known them for 2 reaches.
Since it is JD’s last day she wants to go do a little shopping at Bloody Bay where we have some friends who are vendors. JD, JY and I ride over and the girl’s do some shopping while I confirm with my local friends that I will be “borrowing” their teen girls for a pool/hotel day on Wednesday (this is a tradition that has been going on since they were very little.) I’m not sure who loves it more, us or them. It’s probably a toss-up.
We head back “home” and I drop off the JD and JY and jump on the motorbike with Steve and Kia and head up to see the Guest House (Jah Freedom) he has on Westland Mountain Road. What a cool place, I obviously didn’t stay there, but the grounds were beautiful and the house was very nice. It’s kind of a B & B set-up. I took some awesome pictures here. I couldn’t believe the vegetable garden on the property – they grow everything you’d ever want to eat there. We headed back and I have to admit it was pretty funny watching people’s reactions when they see Kia riding the motorbike.
That night we had one of the best sunsets of the trip. I also managed to get pictures of this! Now I have multiple reasons to be proud of myself today. The 4 roomies head off to Swordfish for JD’s final dinner. Another local friend joins us for dinner and I even got pictures of our food this evening – Snapper, shrimp, lobster mac & cheese, and chicken. I did miss a picture of the garlic cheese bread – delicious but very garlicky! (who cares – I’m not kissing anybody here!) Now I know I am setting myself for a huge failure the rest of the trip with all my picture taking today…
It was another typical evening but tonight we enjoyed the beautiful full moon on our porch and JK felt well enough to try the new hot tub. Unfortunately it wasn’t working yet but all was not lost - she just got into the other one at the pool. Another after midnight bedtime. I’m turning into quite a night owl myself these days.
