Negril is better than ever! I am here, and I am having a GOOD time!

After hangin' at the Seastar Inn for a bit, I headed back up the Cliffs, where I ran into a small herd of cows blocking the road -- hate when that happens, ha ha.

Westender was having their big bonfire on the beach -- not sure how big, as I don't think there are any guests since MaryJayne and Lenny checked out this morning -- so I had a fruit punch there and sat in the rock pool against the shore. It was high tide, the waves were splashing against the rocks, so there was kind of a jacuzzi effect as the ocean water would flow in and out with the tide. It was amazing. So close to God.

The sunset was spectacular. I forgot my money in the room, but the worker at Westender said no problem, just hook him up when I get a chance. In Negril, if you're a tourist, your credit is gold and your word is your bond. God I love this town!

I then headed to Ricks for the end of the Sunset and to see the Cliff divers -- every time I turn away, I miss the big jump, it's been happening to me for years -- and after returning to Seastar, I had yet another massive platter of pasta with meat sauce (so good). That, combined with all the fun and sun and probably 12 spliffs through the day, got me tired.

BTW, it was the perfect time to be hangin' at the bar because Chris was in a great mood and was buying rounds for everyone!

When I entered my room with plans to click through the TV channels for a bit and enjoy the AC, I fell asleep, as has happened a few times this reach, and I did not wake up until past 3 in the morning -- this time, I did not grab my keys and head out to Scrub a Dub or some other gathering of ill-repute; instead, I lay back on my pillow and went back to sleep, totally satisfied that I had spent enough time with all the young party girls of Negril who are learning to yell my name as I speed by in my scooter.

A few us might head to Margaritaville this morning to hang in one of the cabanas, but I also want to hit Booby Cay again, and perhaps another trip to blue hole. It's my last full day. Whatever I do or don't do, I will be content. This is my 15th day in Negril, and I've had the time of my life. It is not over yet, but I'm not sure about a big crescendo. Then again, there is my other shoulder, upon which there's a little devil egging me on a la 'Animal House' .... stay tuned.
