That’s when we spotted a beautiful woman strolling down the beach in a white bikini and sporting a bright pink sunhat casting her face in a shadow. She looked familiar. I squinted against the sun in my eyes and sat up in my beachchair..
It was Bea!!
Jamar and I greeted her on the beach. I’m beginning to realize how small Negril really is! You don’t need a cellphone, just hang out on the beach and you’ll bump into a fellow boardie within minutes. We decided to all head over to Sunnyside for a few drinks. The Red Stripes are cold and cheap + Maureen and Robert are fun to hang with. I miss the “For Real” Bar, but this one has the same vibe. It’s just smaller.
Jamar and Bea went ahead without me. I had to drag Markus back out of the water, which is no easy feat.
We finally met up with them 15 minutes later. Turns out it was Maureen’s birthday!
We all had a celebratory B-day shot with her (a Bea creation that was delicious), sang happy Birthday and enjoyed the cold drinks, warm sunshine and conversation.
Afterwards, we wandered into a few of the vendor shops and talked to people… I bought a beautiful stone butterfly necklace for a really good price from this place:
