Discover Yourself!

My second day begins on June 12, which is Thursday.

I awoke early in the morning, ready to get my day started. I checked my phone and it was 5:30am, I put on my workout clothes, running shoes and walked for almost an hour, then turned around. By the time I was finished it was nearing 7am. No one was out but a few people cleaning up the streets and a few buses shuttling employees to work.

I knew today would be beach day, so I decided on a swimsuit with a simple cover-up. As I looked in the mirror, I knew I would get some attention. One thing about Jamaicans is that they arent afraid to compliment. I got comments from men and women on my hair and how beautiful I was. I don't get that here in the US, so such compliments made me more confident about myself.

I met up with a good friend, had security walk us across the street. I never noticed there was a waterfall outside of Times Square and I posed infront of it.

We were in search of breakfast, but it was soooo early in the morning nothing was opened as of yet. We saw a place across the street that caught our eye and it was opened. We asked what he had, he said acke&saltfish and goat. I felt that was too heavy, so we kept on walking into town.

Decided to catch a taxi into town and see what was open. Up a lane near the ice cream parlor, multiple fruit/vegatable vendors were already set up for the day. Went into a small cookshop, ordered some chocolate tea and an egg sandwich..$300J. It was soo good!

We sat in the cookshop for awhile, just catching up and watching some dancehall videos. It was nearing 9am, more and more people were coming out. Chatted with a few fruit vendors and decided on a slice of watermelon...it was so sweet!

Suddenly, a smell so good hit me. Whatever it was I had to have it!! It was coming from Juici Patties...of course! Went in and ordered 2 vegetable patties and bottle wata.

Day 2.continued...

That veggie patty hit the spot!! Not too heavy, not too light, just right! We walked back, saw the coconut wata man out front of the craft market. I stopped and got a big jelly coconut.
Going for the gold! LOL!Attachment 37668

There she goes! Coconut wata definitely helped me to recover from all the walking I did earlier.

Instead of us walking all the way to Legends, we went down and walked into the Cayenne Beach entrance. A lot of locals enjoy it here. Saw a few guys bathing...

Cayenne Beach, a few boats out and about.

The sand was hot, hot, hot! Had to walk down in the water, which felt good! It was just beginning to warm up. Hmmm, I thought, I needed to leave my mark on Negril. So I wrote my name in the sand...which quickly was washed away. LOL!

Walked down until I got to Bourbon and saw another friend. Once she saw me, she yelled in suprise! It had been so long since I saw her. We all sat down and chatted. I remembered I bought gifts for her, sprinted to my room and gave her a bag of goodies for her and her family. Told her I would catch up with her later. It was time for me to get in some wata~~ Walked out front of Legends again and caught a taxi to Long Bay Beach Park. It cost us $300J to get in. They have bathrooms and shower facilities plus a lifeguard on duty. It was relaxing there, we were not bothered or approached by anyone.

Ahhhh! finally got my buns in some wata!! It was a bit rough, so I just floated towards the edge.

I looked down and saw people parasiling. I wanted to try! I'm afraid of heights, elevators and escalators but this I had to try!! Every trip I make plans to parasail but someone always talks me out of it. No turning back this time! So I made plans to come back later on and do so...until I got bad news. More on that...later...
Sooo cool!
