I recently met a nice girl here in Negril named Nicole~she was kind enough to take Elijah & I to the beach. We went to a place called Idle Awhile which of course is on the famous 7 mile beach. Elijah went into the water without a peep, not a whimper nor a cry. I even took him deep enough that the water went to his chin while only holding him by his arms. I guess you can call him a true Aquarian because he seems to love the water. There was a sting ray in the water, but I wasn't able to grab the camera and run back down to the beach quickly enough. I forgot to mention there were paparazzi around clamoring to take pictures of the little guy. At least 3 people asked to photograph him & at least he had on proper attire.
He has also been a pro at taking his Jamaican baths~this consists of ice cold water in the mornings & evenings. Once again, not a whimper or cry. He seems to know he has no other choice & just deals with it!
We have been without consistent running water for about two weeks now. It is really frustrating because you get so sticky & hot. Luckily some of our neighbors have water tanks that are full & have been kind enough to share in this liquid gold. The trip to the beach was nice because we were able to get fully doused and then rinse off in the outdoor shower provided there. You certainly count the smallest of blessings in times like these.
That is pretty much all there is to report at the moment. I have included a picture of a nice Jamaican lady selling her bananas on the beach & one of my newest acquaintance Nicole with her "jelly".
I will post another blog soon come ;0).
