Feb 2015 Trip Report 2/6-2/14

After losing 5 games and consuming several Red Stripes, We went on a quest to find a book store. I tried to purchase a few books in Negril but couldn't find any for sale. While on the beach in Negril one day, I met a woman from MN that started a literacy program years ago. She also supplies the books. Now I see why. I found a book store in Sav and it contained about 20 used novels. I certainly wasn't going to find one about JA history that I was seeking. We went to a seed store to buy Callaloo seeds. That was a strange experience too. We gave one lady our order and she handed us a card. We then had to give another guy our card and he went to get the seeds. He handed us the card back and directed us to pay the cashier. After paying, the cashier gave us the seeds. I keep thinking of a joke centered around how many people does it take to change a light bulb. I ran into something similar to this process several times in JA. Just try buying a bag of ice at Mega Mart and you too can experience it.

The trip back to Negril seemed to be much quicker than the ride to Roaring River. We got dropped off at Just Natural just after sunset. I had been craving a bean burrito from there since my last visit 2 years ago. I wanted to show Mr. T Just Natural and deliver some organic seeds I brought with me.

Theresa greeted us at bar. She seemed tired. I asked her if she takes time off work for herself. She said she doesnt take any days off work "because I don't want to live off the government when I retire". Can't argue that response I suppose. We ordered drinks. I had gin and fresh juice as I did my first visit. It was delish. So good I had 4 more. DH and Mr. T had a few Red Stripes. Here's a couple pictures.

Game of checkers anyone?

I was oh so disappointed that they had no bean burrito's on the dinner Menu. I opted for Veggie Lasagna with salad. which was delish but to this day am still craving a bean burrito. Just Natural makes their own tortillas. Nothing like it. DH & Mr. T had a pasta and fish dish and a vegetable plate. The best part of this particular meal is the "Sip" that was served as a starter. Told you once you learn a new word you keep hearing it. It was as good if not better than the sip I had a few days prior. So the three of us ate and drank until content and our total bill was around 40$. Can't beat it. The atmosphere was amazing in the evening. All the gardens were lit with little colored lights and smooth jazz was playing. However, even with my ritual of mosquito spray, I got bit more here in a few hours than my entire trip to JA.

After complimentary chocolate cake for desert, DH had a reflexology massage with Christine, as he did last year. I wanted one too but was too exhausted from the day to wait. Reflexology is done outdoors on these tables:
