My beloved! Much has happened in the last few days. I am
sorry it has been so long. My girlfriend told me my blog was boring so I
considered a permanent hiatus. But fear not, I have returned to resume babbling
on to you about things which you most likely do not care about.
One thing I forgot to mention was that on our little
shopping trip into town that some guy at the market rubbed aloe on my face and
then proceeded to point out bug bites on my arms and legs and rub the natural
plant on such bites. Everything happened so fast I didn’t really know how to
stop it. He then tried to tell me that usually he charges 30 dollars for such
service but he would take 20 from me. I walked away, and he was not pleased.
Even with all the free food in the world at our fingertips
my desire for seafood had not as of yet been quenched. Jordan and I moseyed
down the beach and bought fresh crab and lobster from these guys who cooked it
right there. It was delicious.
I have to admit my judgment on the entertainment was a bit
hasty. I think maybe it was less than adequate only because it was Christmas.
The last few nights have been awesome. There was an African tribal evening that
told a story eerily similar to lion king. I say that mostly because they used
songs from the lion king. Last night was a traveling steel drum band complete
with break dancers they covered quite a few current songs including some
Michael Jackson (rest in peace). Very impressive. Speaking of MJ, Tonight’s
entertainment was an MJ impersonator. So good. Highly entertaining. Despite
leaving out a few of my personal favorites I still really enjoyed the show.
Today we did our excursion. We got on a catamaran and set
sail for a journey with three stops. The first was shopping at this
marketplace. Not really that impressive because I had done all my shopping but
we were only there a short while so it was ok. The second stop was snorkeling
in some very cool looking caves. (One of which we were told had been used in
filming the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. After seeing it for myself I
realized it was a lie to up sell the tour). Despite the lies the snorkeling was
sweet. The third and final stop was my favorite by far. It was the “famous”
Ricks Café. The part I was looking forward to was the cliff jumping. There were
guys there who I believe essentially make their living by doing crazy flips of
these cliffs. There were even some kids doing some crazy stuff. Jordan and I
both did jumps of the 37ft platform that was available for the tourists to jump
of. Not the highest I have ever done but still fun never the less.
Tomorrow is our last day. It is as always for me
bittersweet. The rest and relaxation was much needed. Jamaica was an awesome
adventure to be had. One that I would recommend to anyone looking for a
tropical getaway. I am more than satisfied with number 26 and am ever looking
forward to that next adventure. I have some clues as to what it may be but who
knows what the future holds.
For today’s song choice I had to go with one you might
expect from a Jamaican vacation. A little Bob Marley. I have to say I really do
enjoy reggae and it even made some of those annoying Christmas tunes enjoyable.
Iron Lion Zion – Bob Marley
Hopefully it wont be too long before I return to writing. I
must say I did miss it. You never know, my next adventure could be right around
the corner. Until next time…
You Stay Classy.
