Your favorite souvenir from Negril?

[Clarity]

Every morning when I wake up, I open my eyes and see this hand-carved butterfly hanging up on our bedroom wall. I have to smile.



It immediately takes me back to Negril. I can remember it hanging up on the tree stump next to Courtney the carver's makeshift display table in front of the Grand Pineapple. I can remember gazing at it longingly every time I passed by. I can remember the sound of the surf, the salty smell of the Negril ocean air, the warmth of the sun and the feeling of soft sand inbetween my toes.



Courtney carved his signature in the back and the date. it's such a beautiful piece of art that's truly special to me and is definitely my most treasured memento from our trip.

There are a lot of little reminders of Negril laying around the house... Every one of them with a story attached.. The carved bird on the table, the bag draped on the chair, the seashells on the bookshelf, and our "irie box" that contains the money we've been putting aside for our next trip.




I was thinking about souvenirs that people bring back from their trips and started wondering what everyone else has taken home from Negril. I imagine after 10+ trips, your house must be filled with reminders of Jamaica.

What's your most treasured souvenir or memento from your travels to Jamaica? What's the story behind it?
