Day 2, so I ended day 1 thinking I was actually going to go dancing. I was wrong.
I guess there is something about jet lag, no sleep the previous night, and many cocktails, that
sent me to bed early.
I finally got up and got around to unpacking, and really settling into my room.
What a great room this is. TV, great ac, and a great shower. Although I don't see me spending to
much time in here, its nice that its so comfortable. I still have that nervous little feeling in my stomach,
as to what lies ahead. When I am traveling alone, im always careful to follow my intuition, and gut feeling about things, but im also quite an adventurer, so I guess that's a good combination.
Walking to the restaurant , I run into a great couple from Ohio that I met yesterday. They invite me to join them for breakfast. I try not to be a third wheel to the peple I meet, but they are so fun to meet, so I will
have to be once in awhile. What a great breakfast, bacon,eggs, and homemade banana bread.
After breakfast I'M ready for some beach time.
I see the juice guy and run after him for a bottle (trust me, I never had to run after him again he was
waiting for me every morning, after that.
I figure a lot of vitamin c with my alcohol would make it a little healthier...
Right then I noticed my floatie that I had from the day before, all blown up, under a chair, in my spot, with a fresh towel. How great is that. Have to remember to tip the beach attendant. note; since this trip, I
got word from coco that this beach attendant had a house fire, and lost everything, how sad, what a great
guy.)
Im ready to go swimming, and while I took a dip yesterday, it was time to really spend time in this ocean.
I love it, so clean and crisp and cool. After floating, and swimming for a lot of the day, I spent more time visiting, locals and tourists alike, everyone is so nice, I guess there all feeling as good as I am!!
I even recruited some guests from my hotel to join the one love bus crawl, that's something im really
looking forward to.
Although I usually tan very well, and easy, im getting a whole lot of color,, so I think its time to go in
and take a shower. What do I run into on my way to the room, a great looking hot tub.
Well, I know where ill be ending most of my evenings.
It was time to venture out and do some more walking. I took a left this time, and this part of the beach
seemed more familiar to me. Obviously the older part. So many vendors, trying to sell their wares,
I wish I could buy from everyone, but obviously cant, so I decide to buy one thing from a different
person every day.
I find my way down to Bar b barn, what a charming place, great bar, check out the menu, yum, pasta,
definitely have to make it back here. I sit down as im fairly tired right about then, and sat at the
great bar, and had a cool beverage. So heres the thing, not really use to drinking rum, hence the
hangover this morning, so I order my old stand by, Smirnoff vodka, yes this will work!
As I sit and just gaze, my thoughts go to my mom, as they did a lot that week,. She brought me here long ago,
would of been happy that I made it back. While sitting, I met a man from Cuba. He was there with family members for a vacation. It was quite interesting trying to have a conversation with someone that spoke
very little English, and myself absolutely no Spanish. He wanted me to go dancing with him that night,
after all I guess you don't have to understand each other to dance, but I passed.
The only romance I'm interested in this week, is the one I'm having with Negril!!
