So DH and Mr. T rolled back to the beach with guitar and drum in tow. We walked down the beach a bit and stopped at a place, not sure of what it was called, and ordered another round of beer. They had a fire burning. DH and Mr. T busted out the jams.

I walked up the beach a little ways and and in my inebriated state of mind became fascinated with a cooler sitting in the middle of the beach that said "cold coconut".

So I am trolling around the cold coconut sign and then came upon another that said " DABS 420". I was wondering what's up with "DAB's".

We caught a ride back to Bourbon Beach and a band was playing. We had a few more round. DH and Mr. T went back to the room to get the guitar and drums and I got my BB groove on. I felt like I was in a meat market for an hour. But it was flattering to a degree. There were several woman much older than myself having a great time with much younger guys, like in their 20's if that. I wondered what their stories were and was glad to see them in such a happy zone and experiencing total freedom. God I love Negril. And the Thumping Bass. And the people. I was dreading that this was my last night here.

So one final sunset later, we decided to head to the West End to check out a few spots. Our first stop was Swordfish. Mr. T introduced me to the owner, Kempy (not sure about the spelling). This guy was amazing. Had and old, classic soul. He's my favorite person I met on this trip. We went upstairs (which wasn't officially open due to the high winds) and had a drink. Mr. T said his father and Kempy were best friends while his father was still living. Kempy explained to me how he traps the seafood that he prepares in the restaurant and assured me it's the freshest seafood to be had in the area. I was wishing I hadn't consumed all the Patties, chicken curry and beer so I could indulge. We hung out upstairs for a beverage but it was really windy.

So I just keep trolling around looking for more interesting things to photograph and walk towards the Eddies Juice Bar Shack, to take another photo. A guy comes jumping out from behind the counter. Scared me almost sober.

We went to World Best Jerk Stand just outside of BB on the street. Nothing like seeing the chef with a big fattie in his mouth at 2 am. He hooked us up with some Really great Jerk Chicken, white bread and I think a few sides of something else. We went back to room and inhaled it. DELISH! Now it was time to pack up in my drunken frame of mind. NO fun. I know you what I mean. I wish we were staying one more day, but driver will be here at 10 am and we are off to Montego Bay for the last day. I'll tell you all about that too.
