Many sleeps in Ja. First trip report.

[limeex2]

Day 2 cont. As I sit up on my balcony sipping a scotch n water, I assume Lenbert will be using his Jamaican watch. He must have an American version as I see him drive by looking for me 10 minutes early. We hook up and start our trip to pick up others. We hit many stops and I am having a good time as are the others, but the vibe is just not there for me. As soon as I start getting comfy, we move on. I am getting hungry again and am full of liquor, so I part ways with the bus late in its tour and head out. It gets a little foggy from here. I eat and quit drinking for a while and walk back to my apt. My roommate has made new friends and introduces me. They are 2 brothers from my home state of Minnesota. As we find out more hometown info, one of them looks strangely familiar. I enjoy live music of all types and have been trying with no luck to see a local band called Crankshaft and the Gear Grinders http://www.crankshaftmusic.com/#media.
Finally my curiosity gets the best of me and I ask him "You look like Alex Larson from Crankshaft and the Gear Grinders?" With that they both start laughing and Alex explains that he is indeed Alex from Crankshaft. At that point we are all laughing and cant believe the coincidence that has just occurred in my apt in Negril. Yet another alcohol related event! Back home I call these AARE's and have so many of them, I could make t-shirts of them... We coin a new phrase that anyone who has been to Jamaica can related to. We'll call them "Negril Moments". We share Negril Moments, Stripes, subs, scotch and laugh a lot. The party ends as they have places to be. I stumble next door to Jimmies and meet my new friends from there. Now its my turn to get Jimmie going. Last night he kept on me to try the ganja. I start on him with the scotch with the same results, he gives up and we share many bumps and more stories.
I see he has 2 new looking motorcycles over in the corner. We strike a deal for 3 days of riding, cause I am really in need of my motorcycle "fix". I am to meet him tomorrow and we will go off into the back country exploring and ridin. Perfect. We part ways due to me being over-served with party favors. I head to the apt, get the Ipod and start jammin to tunes on the head phones and checking out traffic from 2nd floor balcony. Finding my groove now, checking out passer byes, who should walk by but Marie. I smile and wonder? I flag her down and invite her up. She can tell I have been over-served and giggles. So of course its a good idea to have more. We share a sub, more stories and laughs. We both are kind of flirty, but I know I have had to many party favors to go any further than flirting. We share more stories when she notices my scrapes from yoga. We share a few more stories and as we part ways, she knows I am in no condition to walk her home and promises to stop back in the morning to nurse my scrapes before something happens to them as they are not healing well.
