Another Day...

I have enjoyed my past couple of days here in the west end of Negril. On Friday night, Elijah & I went down to Nicoles' place for dinner with her & her guests. She has a couple there from Sweden who are kind of goofy but are great to be around. The man Yappie likes to yell "BEEEER" in this very deep voice. I guess you would have to be there to see the comedy in it. We had an enjoyable dinner with the requisite rice & peas, callaloo & fish. It was nice to get out for a few hours & just fulljoy the vibe of different surroundings. If you would like to see where we were, you can google Bananas Gardens in Negril. I am not sure of the exact web address, but it is a really nice place to stay if you get the chance.


On Saturday morning I got up early with Elijah & took him for a morning stroll before the sun came up. I need to lose this baby weight & he would not sleep, so I figured what the heck, beat the heat of the sun, wear him out & get in a little exercise. It felt good to accomplish a little something early in the day. Later that morning we went to Negril Escape to catch up with Nicole & her rambuctious son Jonah who was taking a karate class. I don't think I would be able to concentrate in a place with such beautiful scenery.

Later in the afternoon we took a walk to Nicoles' to enjoy her company & pool. The kids had a great time time playing in the water. Elijah completely enjoyed the water & it took all my effort to not dunk him under. I think he would have handled it with no problem, but decided not to take the chance quite yet. After taking a rinse off, we met up with Elijahs' dad to take a walk to the cliffs & watch the divers jump. It was pretty good for awhile until the rain came & we had to seek refuge in a jerk chicken shop. The rain lasted through the night for the most part...andddddd we now have water. It is a trickle but we have it!

I know it does not seem very exciting, but it has been nice. Of course I miss friends at home & the luxuries we take for granted (clean water, refrigeration, air conditioning, washing machine, etc); however I am enjoying meeting new people & creating new memories & experiences.

Fulljoy life!
