I dropped in to see Rasta Dave yesterday, he's doing great.
I wish they still had him at the Sea Splash.

lathomas, I forgot to mention that when the Bus Crawl stopped at Choices, Grace the owner had a buffet laid out and for $5 you could enjoy the buffet and also a redstripe. A very good deal if you ask me. I asked Grace if she cooked pepper shrimp and she said no. I also asked if there were any street vendors that sold pepper/peppa shrimp in Negril and she said no but that gave her an idea a nitche might need to be filled so maybe in the future she will have peppa shrimp.

Rasta Stan, Nice you saw Rasta Dave and if you see him again tell me Larry and Beth said hello.

We went to the beach, period and exclamation point.

Weather indicated the earlier the better and that is what we did. While at the beach where we had met a few nice Canadian folks and about midday a guy come up carrying a Caribbean Lobster or in Mexico a Langosta.
It was Fireman wearing an oriental hat. I had read about him from the board. One of the Canadians ordered one which Fireman would cook and bring back to Point Village for the guy (Doug).

So as clouds moved (predicted in the forecast) in, we headed back to the room to relax and watch it rain from the balcony, which it did for quite some time and almost till dark. I had spoken with Fireman and found out where he was established at Our Pastime and after the rain ended we took a walk to his location for dinner.

To walk to Our Pastime or basically to walk on Long Beach from Point Village you must first traverse Hedo right next door. I must say it was an interesting walk. Several people nude and some you would want to look at and some you might not want to not look at, if you get my drift. Beautiful people and not so beautiful people but they are all “just people” doing their thing! Jamaica and they are letting it “hang out”

So after the scenic tour through Hedo you still have a ways to walk to get to Fireman at the Our Pastime location, but it is an easy walk and through several AI hotels Sandals, etc. When you break out of the AI you are almost there. The selection of lobster, location, meal cooked by Fireman was excellent. Basically you pay Fireman for the lobster meal and Our Pastime bar for your drinks or at least that was our experience.

Walk back after dark is pretty much safe with just a short area to traverse that is not under security. We had absolutely no problem the first night other than some security checking to see where we were from and going and at Hedo they had to open the gate to let us in, but “no problem mon”!

Again ending with pictures.

Day 3 started like the second, since the weather prediction was just like before (afternoon showers), we when to the beach early and didn't leave till rain was clearly approaching. We basically got cleaned up and set on the balcony watching it rain pretty hard at times and in the process saw some sort of Heron hunting for something to eat. The rain did not stop for quite a while so we just chilled out.

After the rain finally stopped we again went to Fireman's cook pit located at Our Pastime location. This time we made a selection of 2 smaller lobsters instead of splitting 1 large lobster like we did the first time. We had a nice meal again and although not planned, some of the Canadians that were also staying at Point Village showed up and we had a lot of laughs and good conversation.

After our meal was finished we walked back to PV and retired to the balcony to watch the waves and listen to the sound they would make lapping at the rocks and shoreline.

Again followed with pictures:
The Heron

A fairly large crowd gathered to look and also select a lobster for Fireman to cook


We took a beach walk after selecting dinner and Fireman did not cook till we got back the cook pit at dusk

I have a few others of Fireman and the little boy and some of just the little boy. The little guy has a very good personality and keeps his "chin up" so to speak
