Goooood Morning Jamaica! Let's move quickly to Tuesday Dec. 16: Up at 7:00, walked down to the beach, helped the guys pick up branches, that they cut down as Gail thought they were blocking too much of the view to the sea. It was finally a calm morning, and BJ sensed that the time was was just right for SUP {stand up paddleboard} So, here goes...fat farmer guy attempting SUP for the first time! It's kinda hard, takes practice. It's somewhat similar to being in a canoe. First time I fell in, sure enough swallowed some water. You know what thats like...right? I finally did accomplish the feat, after falling in two more times. There, another item crossed off on my bucket list. Thanks BJ. The I sat with two ladies, who are friends with BJ, and the one lady lived only 40 miles from where I live! Small world. Then we went for breakfast with Suzie & Suzanne. They were all excited, as they had a religious experience at the concert at Bourbon Beach, plus had a blast at Seastar karaoke with us. Today's breakfast had BACON! Plus I really like the cornmeal porridge. No definite plans for today. Tomorrow though I am going with Gail to the Negril farmer's market. So, today we just decided to hang out on the beach or whatever {isn't that the beauty of this place? To quote from some famous author "Is this place FOR REAL"?} Later, we went for a beach walk to the left. We stopped and looked at the craft stuff @ WAVZ park . Bought 2 fish carvings for our daughter and son in law, who live in Fargo. You betcha! Then we walked way past Bourbon Beach, then back, and stopped for a couple ice cold Red Stripes at Big John's cooler, by Drifter's Bar. Then had some beers & dirty bananas @ Boat bar. The band was practicing. Good vibes mon' Kept walking, I bought a beef pattie from Neville. The, oh geez, for crying out loud, here comes Skip!. Then we stopped at Sunnyside, and took a picture with Odie to give to fargoman, plus we talked a likkle smack about fargoman. So, it's about 5;00 or was it six? Don't matter, remember we are on Jamaica time! We went to the grocery store for some supplies, then stopped at Cool Spot for supper . I had the curried conch and Deb had the fried chicken. It was good. Then we crashed about 8:30. Kinda showing our age a likkle bit, arent we? Almost done folks, only two days to go. Later. Today we go to Negril. Fargoman and his buds, better have not drank all the Red Stripes in Negril.
