Feb 2015 Trip Report 2/6-2/14

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.

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".

[never2many]

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".

[never2many]

We talked a bit. He told me he needs money to buy his kids food. He invited me behind the juice bar to check out the juicer and DABS. I was drunk but I think DABS is some kind of hash made from oil. Still not positive because the evening is still hazy in my mind. He offered to make me juice, I declined. He showed me various other items that I can't get into here. He kept telling me that he couldn't believe that I wasn't "scared" to hang out with him. He said most tourist would be fearful in the middle of the night. I told him my friend and DH were at the fire and invited him for a beer. We had a couple of beers and jammed and sang by the fire. It was a great time. I wanted to hear more Reggae and invited him to BB and told him I'd buy him another beverage but he said he may be up later but he was tired. I think he went back to sleeping wherever he was sleeping when he popped out of nowhere. DH had a great time jamming on seven mile beach. We had talked about having this moment for the past 2 years so it was great we were actually there living the dream we so often talked about.
