I was still full from the Patties & all the red stripes so I couldn't eat much curry although it smelled and tasted great. A trick Mr. T showed me was to "burn the spice" first. In other words, saute it in dry pan a bit before making the sauce. It really does make a difference.

Tonight we decided to go hear some music at Bourbon Beach and play guitar on the beach. DH also bought a few small drums earlier today. We decided to wait for some of the bonfires to sit by and play later. We had to hurry to go catch our final Negril sunset. For some reason I can't find any photo's of it. I was so happy when we got there! I saw the dog that was really ill earlier & he seemed in better spirits.

While there we tried a Strawberry Red Stripe if I recall correctly. I don't recommend you try one.

So a few more drinks later, we headed to the German Bar. It was a pretty cool vibe. They had a HUGE screen and while we were there, played a Tina Turner concert & then Simon and Garfunkel show. The service left a lot to be desired. We sat for at least 20 minutes before we could even order a drink. But it still had a cool vibe and I'd go back again.

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.

We were hot and tired. We chilled a few minutes. DH wanted to go to Doctors Beach. I didn't want to go. I was hot and tired. I didn't want to pay to get on the beach. I made an over-proof and juice to get motivated. Had a red stripe to wash it down. Okay now I am ready to roll.

DH promised he'd get me more rum and juice at the beach. We paid 10$ (each I think) to get on the beach and another 10 each for chairs. It was a really beautiful, clean beach. But not as nice as Negril. Totally different vibe. NO vibe. No vibe beach. DH went to a restaurant on the beach and got me a few frozen rum punches. Okay I was feeling better. DH went swimming. Storm clouds starting blowing in after 20 minutes. bummer. We just paid 40$ for the beach and 20$ in drinks and now it was about to hammer down on us. It was all good though. We were still in Jamaica, on a beach. It was a really beautiful beach. We packed up our stuff and headed back up to the strip.
