Day 3:
Up early again !! Same as yesterday eat and get to the beach for a day of sun n relaxin !!! Today Marie gets here around 4pm.
Again I have lunch and a few RS lights at the Treehouse. Around 4 I go in to shower before sunset and then back down the beach to wait for marie.
She misses the sunset and gets to the Treehouse around 6pm. It's Saturday night and I had originally planned on going to the SeaStar buffet and show.
Marie is tired from traveling since the night before (red eye from LA to Chicago with a 4 hour layover in Chicago). So we decide to go for a nice dinner
instead. I suggest Kuyaba and we're off. I was really eager for her to see Negril in the daylight and coming in after dark it's kinda hard to get a feel for
the place. Anyway we get to Kuyaba and she is immediately impressed with the walkway, the bamboo, palms and tiki torches !!
I get to see one of my favorite Negril friends, Buddy the cockatoo!!! We play with Buddy for a few minutes and he seems to remember me !!
So we sit at a table by the beach and our waiter comes over and introduces himself as Ricardo. I order a papaya daquiri and she gets a rum drink too.
We order the camenbert cheese app and she gets the grilled lobster and I get the coconut snapper over callaloo.
As we wait for our meals we both observe the runnings on the beach I try to explain a little about the culture. I wish she could see the cliffs but the lights up there are cool too! She asks if we can walk back to the Treehouse on the beach. I try to explain that we would probably be ok but it's not really a
good idea for 2 girls to walk on any beach at night there or anywhere. We enjoy dinner and she enjoys talking with Ricky Ricardo, the waiter !!! He is
really tall dark and handsome!! She is also really blown away with how good the lobster is!!! Then Rasta and his wife meet us for after dinner drinks and
then they drop us off at the Treehouse and we have a drink at our bar before turning in.

Day 4:
I'm excited to show Marie Negril by day in it's full beautiful glory. She gets up early too and we go down for breakfast. My favorite waiter Leon is
working this morning and I introduce Marie to him. I've known him for a few years and I was there on his first day of work at the Treehouse and it's so
awesome that he is still there !!! We both giggle like little girls after he serves us our drinks, he's adorable with the nicest blue eyes I've ever seen!!!
After breakfast we get our loungers ready then go for our first walk. We walk north ( I hadn't been past the palms in the last 3 days !!!!haha).
The water is all the way up to Foote Prints restaurant and there is a 3ft drop off from out the store's door. I snap some pics of the barry's bar tree, one of my traditions......walking north past Couples there is hardly any beach but they have a nice sand bar where guests have some chairs in the water.
Marie is really impressed by the beauty of Negril and I am enjoying being the tour guide, explaining everything from booby cay to the flora fauna of JA.!!
Finally I get to put my knowledge and studies of my favorite place to use !!
Happy hour begins when we get back and we order some jerk for lunch along with a bunch of RS lights. Rasta shows up later that afternoon to invite us
up to his house for dinner. He is master chef too, he wants to cook us lobster that he just picked up fresh from the fisherman.
We get ready and head up to the bush for dinner.......Marie is doesn't know it yet but she is in for a "real" jamaica experience, driving with a local in
the bush !!!! Rasta is a crazy driver we speed thru the roundabout and stop at the top choice beverage warehouse, Rasta goes in and gets us some beers
he almost gets run over crossing the street !!! For such a laid back society everybody drives around in a crazy rush!!!
We head the cliff road and turn left onto Westmoreland Mountain rd then it's turn into the bush off road !! The road up to his house is an unpaven dirt and
limestone crevaced path, his car bottoms out a few times, Marie looks at me in amazement as we speed thru the bush going fast then swerving at the last second to avoid large potholes in the limestone. It's like a rollercoaster ride and I'm totally enjoying it laughing like a kid on an adventure!!!
We get to his house which overlooks all of long bay, again we just miss the sun going down but there's still enough light to see and I resume my role as
tour guide pointing at spots on the beach, the river and the reef. Rasta called us down for dinner and the 4 of us enjoy his grilled lobster with rice and
peas. His wife is soo lucky to have such a good chef cooking for her every day !!! Plus he is a sweet guy too.
After a nice dinner he drives us down thru red ground back to the Treehouse where we order some drinks and go in the hot tub to relax and look at the
stars......the hot tub jets were broken but since the owner just passed I'm sure it was just overlooked with everything else going on. But it's still hot so
we relax and talk about what we are gonna do tomorrow. We both agree that we want to go to yoga at 9:30 at the Negril Yoga Center. We turn in early
again.
