Negril Postcard!

April 20, 2006

Greetings from sunny Jamaica!

The weather has been awesome, the sunsets, beautiful!

Sarah Champlin, a woman who lives here in Negril, came by to give Dolores a massage, then she convinced me into getting one. It was just what I needed. She was amazing, we felt great afterwards. Sunset at the Castle is always beautiful, great views from everywhere.

Traveling around Negril w/ Clive

Went for an afternoon snorkel trip with Famous Vincent, and a couple who are also staying here at the castle.

 I am not the most aquatic person afloat but I loved snorkeling. I used a life vest as a floatie, I looked like a moron, but it worked great!

The Reef is really beautiful, so many colorful fishes, so much life! I looked for Nemo, couldn’t find him.

While I’m checking out the reef, I look over to see a school of fish all around Dolores. It took a while but I realized she was feeding them. How Cool is that?

Then Famous Vincent swims over to me and shows me how to feed the fishes. I felt like a little kid in a petting zoo!

We dropped off our friends, and we headed to Ricks Cafe. Famous Vincent gave us a thourough cliffs tour on the way. Rick’s is as touristy as Negril gets, but I still like going there.

Traveling around Negril w/ Clive

We were the complete tourists, drinking Corona’s and eating the Appetizer Sampler ooing and aahing at the divers. You gotta love the place.

Then is was back to Blue Cave Castle to clean up and hit Kuyaba for dinner. Dolores decided that Blue Cave Castle was the most striking, on the West End.

Kuyaba was nice, but we didn’t realize how burned out we were and we were dozing off waiting for the check.

Dolores is probably stateside by now, I have a few more days!

I’ll be back :)

    Hey Vinny;I have to have my neighbor scan my photos and send them to you as I dont have a scanner, I think about Jamaica all the time because our house has so many carvings from our six trips. You didnt get to see our 3 ft. carving of a Rasta Woody pun intended I will send one of that. We have some cool stories about our Jamaica trips, believe me. You can use our names Scott& Deb Love when you write or just Scott&Deb. Our last name means Love in German. Chow, Scott
