Brasi Trip Report #15
West End Cliff Spot
As it turns out, due to last minute issues I'm still dealing with, I wouldn't stay at Sunset on the Cliffs again, and I'll leave it at that. That said, it IS a beautiful property, and I had a lot of fun with the staff and a great time hanging around the ocean on my last couple days there. The best day there, by far, was the half day I spent chilling with my friend "T" who I was introduced to through a Jamaican friend.
T lives in Negril but doesn't work in the tourist area. In fact she's had a a hard time making ends meet because the little bar she was working at closed just a little while back.
After lunch we sat and talked about Vybz Kartel---she's !!!Gaza!!!---I found out that I really liked her as a person. What i thought would be just a quick blind date set up by a "meddling" Jamaican friend turned into a cool new friendship...and in fact, at least on my end, there was a tinge of romance...I wished I met her earlier in my vacation!
I'm glad we chilled. She took a few pictures of me I wouldn't have otherwise. She had to do some family stuff the whole night and took off around 2 pm on my third-to-last day; I ended up napping, then getting dinner at my hotel. It ROCKED. Curry shrimp. Sooooo great. I took a picture of the chef, BIG, after because the meal rocked...and bought him a Dragon.
After dinner I sat at the bar wondering what I was going to do on this wide open night...hoping that I mite get a chance to meet up with T again on the next day...she said she'd text...but I was quite honestly feeling lucky that I was able to meet someone so down-to-earth and cool even for a one time hang out...a lady with similar tastes in music...I was also feeling a little guilty because it was the first time in MONTHS I'd "felt" anything physical going deeper, one-on-one...like...if T had just looked up at me that one time...I would have kissed her and hoped she was into it...and taken the slap if not. LOL.
Ah. Stop being a wimp Brasi. Better to not think at all than to think about this stuff. Another Red Stripe please?! And then I met the bartender who had seen me with T...and had the convo about kissing...LOL...and Jamaican women's views on white dudes like me......the convo I posted above.
Then at around 10...T texted...could we meet up late night for a Q somewhere?...later?....life has a funny way of making me smile just when I think there aren't any smiles left.
(Note: The pic is of T. But her face is not included because I am not privy to all the details of her life. She said it was ok to post her pic but I'm the last person who wants to make it difficult for her to find employment, or otherwise make her life more challenging than it is already).
