On the way to Negril, through Lucea

[Muck]

It's the electrical lines in Lucea that always catch my eye. Rather, it's the "rats nest" of electrical wiring on poles that makes it apparent to me that electrical codes are either lax or laxly enforced....

I once sent a pic of the jumble of wires to a friend that is an electrician. He almost had a cow!

We became friends with a housekeeper who worked at the resort we stayed at in Negril. She and her family and by that I mean husband, daughter, mom, aunty, sister, niece,etc lived 3 miles up in the mountains in Lucea. 2 taxis to get to Lucea, stops at grocery store, the fresh fish store then another "taxi" to her home. Definitely needed a Red Stripe by then! Cooked the fish outside on grill and visited with family. Priceless memory and experience! My friend works in Negril and uses 3 taxis 2x a day 5 days a week. Her daughter goes to school at Rhodes so there's a few more taxi rides per day. I sponsored them for visas and passports and last July they came to Michigan for 2 weeks. The Dollar store was their favorite place.
