We have gone to Negril a number of times at this time of year, and being from Florida we are used to hot and muggy weather in the summer. Our first three days of vacation were actually very nice and pleasant. There was almost constant cloud cover but no rain and it kept the temperature very comfortable.
After several hours of bathing in the sea and giving thanks on the lounger we were starting to think of something to eat. I suggested we take a taxi to Alfreds for fish & chips for lunch. Cathy was all on board as then we could walk over to Times Square for Cathy's favorite hobby. Yep, shopping!
We ordered 2 orders of fish & chips and it was just too much. We should have just ordered one order and split it, but it was excellent. As it turned out we spotted Michael on the beach and invited him over to share. We had known Michael from years past when we stayed at Negril Gardens before it became Grand Pineapple.
After lunch we walked down the beach before heading over to Times Square. In front of us was Tony who has a stand by Merrils 2. He insisted on us taking a look at his offerings. We did but he was quite perturbed when we didn't buy anything. Oh well, how many trinkets do you think I need from Jamaica when I've been visiting for 25 years.
