There is nothing better than a good afternoon rain. Perfect for taking a "nap" with my Empress

One of my favorite Negril memories comes from my very first visit. It was April of '99 and I was part of a group of about 40 for the wedding of my oldest and dearest friend. The day before the wedding, he and I had some time to ourselves so we decided to walk from Charela up to Cosmos for lunch. As we walked it began raining, not a gully washer but a good steady rain. We were in our swim wear and it was warm and pleasant. As we got to the section of beach with the big A/I's there was not a tourist in sight. Apparently as soon as the rain started they all ran inside. So without anyone to wait on, the beach staffs of 2 resorts started up a soccer game on the beach in the rain. We must have stood there for 20 minutes or so enjoying the game before we continued our journey. The rain stopped and we were dry soon after. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch, my first escovitch fish, and strolled back down the beach.

Yeah, I love the rain.

Bless...
