Slept late this day, well, late for us anyway...until 7:30. Chad woke up before me and snuck this photo, which turned out really nice with the light coming in the window and the mosquito netting. He should really take more of our photos, I think he's a better photographer than me.
We made eggs and callaloo for breakfast again and tried the soursop from the fruit stands. I squeezed half of it and mixed with club soda for a spritzer, that was really good. I think I prefer soursop juice, I'm not crazy about the texture of the flesh.
We saw our LA friends over at LTU having breakfast and chatting with Karl Ricketts before leaving.
We must have been really tired because after breakfast we apparently took a nap for 2-3 hours...super lazy day. We ate at Sips 'N Bites after our nap, can't remember what we ate, but I know it was good because it always is. After our meal we just went back to Citronella and lazed around reading and chilling. Saw an awesome Dr. Bird fight off the back verandah and got a decent picture of one of the participants.
Sunset, then our normal evening verandah time. It was a Friday night party at LTU and the music was too loud to sleep. Fortunately it was some good classic R&B and motown, so we decided if we couldn't beat 'em, join 'em. Well, we didn't actually go over there because we were already in pajamas, so we just stayed up late listening to the fun next door. Luckily we had slept all day anyway, so we weren't very tired.
Love the pic of you in the bed! Looks like something from a magazine!
Up early today and people were wandering around in the front yard of our cottage again while we're trying to enjoy the morning in our pajamas. Chad was really p*ssed and getting all belligerent and I didn't really feel like dealing with it...here's my fake smile while I'm lying in the hammock being irritated.
So we headed down to Canoe for breakfast. It was very good, I can't remember exactly what we had but I do remember there was extra bacon involved. After that we went to HiLo to change some $ and pick up a few supplies. We went back to Citronella and I did some yoga on the A-Frame front porch and then got my bikini on thinking we'd head to the beach early. Chad was feeling tired, so he decided to take a nap first while I chilled in the front yard. After the nap we set off for our regular hangout, Sun Beach. They were doing some work in the parking area today and we made note of the sign instructing us where to park.
It was a very nice beach day, very sunny. We did some swimming, ate some cashews, had a pineapple daquiri, did some floating on my raft, and a bit of reading. Chad always likes to chat with the staff.
I don't have anything in my notes about lunch, but if we ate lunch at Sun Beach, I'm sure we had the escoveitch again. We stayed there all day long and late in the afternoon decided to go for a walk up the beach. We let the staff know we were leaving for a bit and the manager said "Oh, are you going some place nice?" My husband, the smartass, replies "No, we're coming back here!" OMG...fortunately everyone just laughed and laughed. It's a good thing they like us and get Chad's humor.
We walked up past CSA and back. It was a really beautiful afternoon and we got some great photos.
I got this silly bikini on clearance and wasn't crazy about the fact that it says "Love" on the rear, but it's appropriate for Negril...it's the One Love BUTT.
My handsome husband...
Light levels starting to get low and a gorgeous sunset coming on.
To be continued...more photos to post.

love your report and photos!! Looking at the photo with Barry's Bar sign really shows how much beach has been lost over time.
Happy Sunday
peace,

Looking forward to our next visit to beautiful Jamaica! See you soon!!
We walked back to Sun Beach and it was time to eat dinner so we decided just to eat there. We had the ginger curry chicken, which was really good. It's not at all spicy, so a good choice for people that don't want the heat. It's good to give your guts a break sometimes anyway.
GORGEOUS beach sunset that evening, plenty of photos for ya!

And just a few more photos to end the day...the rest of our evening was our normal routine.
those sunsets are absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to be back in Negril on 7 mile beach!
Superb composition on the last twilight shot. Love the twinkles across the bay, with the dark mountain backdrop. You're good!
As Bob Hope used to say..........Thanks for the memories.....
