Just got back (27Nov) from a beautiful 6 days in the west end. Absolutely beautiful, left the property every day walking or with road taxis, not a single bad vibe or even a hair raising (usually feel that a once or twice/trip).

I feel horrible about the violence and will always be vigilant, heck I bicycle commute through 2 of Chicago's 3 worst neighborhoods every day, all year long - I know the horror, see it, shrug sometimes, fight other times. I and I and the world is not perfect but I can't live without the hope of returning to Negril, so I will. I will shrug and fight there if I have to, but I don't expect to ever Have to.

Also, I will always think about this event every time I see a ketchup packet for the rest of my life.

Peace and Love
