After our AMAZING dinner, we walked over to Bea's table. She and her mom had just finished their meal too.

Bea mentioned she was planning on hitting Alfreds for some dancing, but we decided to stay at the resort and take it easy. We had to be up early to meet Jamar at Blue Cave Castle for breakfast, then catch the noon webcast at Fun Holiday before speeding to the airport with Chicken to catch our flight back to SF.

Bea and I said our goodbyes. I thanked her for the beautiful Jewelry she had given me in the traveling jewelry exchange.

“I sure hope we'll see eachother again someday”, I said.

“Certainly we will” Bea said will a smile.

(And we actually WILL next month!.)

When Bea left, Markus and I settled down in the comfortable seats at Ivans Bar for a final round of Dirty Banana's.

Bob Marley was playing on the speakers, and Kevin the bartender was singing along to “Cornerstone” while making our drinks.

We decided to attempt to play Dominoes. We noticed that everyone plays this game in Jamaica.

“Do you know how to play?”, I asked Markus. “Because I don't”

“um...I think I remember playing this as boy in Germany...”, He said. Spreading out the pieces.



After a few rounds, we noticed that Kevin was watching us with an amused and perplexed expression.

“Hey, Do you have any hints and tips for Dominoes?”, I asked.

Kevin wiped his hands with a bar cloth and walked up to us with a smile. “Yeah, mon.. first of all, You are playing this game all wrong. That's not how we play it here in Jamaica. Let me show you how it's done”, He said.



So we began playing Dominoes with Kevin. He showed us how to play proper and he let me win a few rounds before kicking both of our butts!

Warning: This man is not to be reckoned with. He is a master at this game. Don't let him convince you otherwise.

We could have stayed there all night playing dominoes with Kevin but it was getting late and we knew it was time to retire..

That's what's so amazing about the staff at Catcha. We were only there for two nights and we really feel like we got to know all of them. The kitchen staff, Ty, Kevin, Carol, Maureen, Andrea... everyone. Just an astounding group of caring people. Everyone called us by our names after less than a day.

Ordinarily, I would end the day right here, but actually there was more that happened that last night. I'm going to open up about it, even though it's embarrassing.

The next part of this trip report is for Rumpolephoreskin
