As long as I am in town, I figured I might as well go to Ricks. Lets see how it changed from long ago.
It was crowded and I noticed it had quite the same feel it had last time. Theres a pool now, bigger bar, but the cliffs and all that look the same. And yes the divers were diving ,so I found a comfortable seat and watched.
It was rough that day, so they weren't letting any tourists jump. Not that I was going to. I needed to make it to HiLo for supplies, so I grab a taxi and head there.
Lets see, Vodka, snacks, water, bottle opener, and bug spray. (nobody warned me!)I got back to the resort,
and it was time to hit the hotel bar for happy hour. I really got to meet a lot of people when I went there.
I got my 2 for 1 and spotted the lifeguard stand, on the beach. I climbed up there about six thirty and watched the sunset. Thus began a ritual almost every night to watch one beautiful sunset after the other.
As people would walk by, I would say I'm the lifeguard , it is safe to swim and I will save you.
99.9 percent of them thought that was funny! Negril brings out the little girl in me.
After a big day, I went back to my room, grabbed a cold red stripe,and sat out on my balcony, thinking about another great day in Negril.
Day 4
As I write this I remember how swiftly time passes there. I now see ten days is a must.....
Going across the strret to Mikeys store, the front gate security guard stops me and we chat like we do daily,
see laughed and said do you ever slow down, and I smiled back and said I don't have time to slow down!
Todays going to be a great all day beach day. I head out and theres my floatie waiting for me on my chair with a fresh towel. I love it here at CoCo. I already know Im coming back in February and I will be coming back here. The day is beautiful and Im getting very tan, it feels so good to just swim, float and people watch. I love the little groups that stop by and sing, it's so Negril!! I call over the juice guy and he asks where ive been,
I guess I better buy two bottles. Decided to take a break from the sun and walked over to a place called the wild parrot. Great food, finally found the clubhouse I have been looking for. Besides Jerk, im not really
to adventurous to try much authentic Jamaican food.
So the jetski guys have been relentless with me so I finally give in.and decide to try. So much fun
30 minutes turned into an hour.Jetskinig on the ocean is very cool. The salt water spray in the face is all the reminder you need that you are in the ocean. Having been in the water pretty much all day it was time to go
back in the room, but first, time to climb up on the lifeguard stand, and watch another stunning sunset.
Tonight I'm going to Alfreds . Its time to see what everyone is talking about. We decide to walk there on the beach, and listen to the AOP band. What a great time, again dancing in the sand. Itsone of the moments of my trip that really sticks with me.
Did not stay out to late, as tomorrow is Wednesday and time for the One Love bus crawl. I have been looking forward to this.!!!!!!!
