Trip Report: Negril One More Time

[bchfun]

I surprised Don later in the afternoon with an agenda for another new experience. We would go to Canoe Bar! So we gathered up our trusty taxi driver, Erdley, and headed off for the West End. Thanks to all the boardies who gave me info about this wonderful spot! We were there for the 2 for 1 happy hour, had great drinks and the fabulous onion rings, and sat and admired the sea and the boats going by. Then the most exciting thing of all happened. Don wandered to the end of the porch and then came back with a VERY excited look on his face. He had overheard a lady on the beach saying she'd found a piece of BLUE SEA GLASS! I LOVE sea glass and had not found any in our previous trips to Negril. I used to pay a bounty for pieces that my children found on the North Carolina Outer Banks where we went when they were little! I left my drink and the onion rings immediately and ran down to the beach, where I talked with this lovely lady. If you are a boardie and are reading this, thank you thank you for helping me that day! Of course I don't remember your name, you are from Manitoba and spend several months in Jamaica every year. She said that blue was hard to find, there was lots of green and white. Oh my I filled my pockets, I couldn't believe it, it was like I'd found the pirate queens'-Anne Bonny and Mary Read- treasure. My pockets were sagging AND I found two tiny blue pieces. Canoe Bar I love you and I WILL be back!
