Fun in the Sun!

This weekend was so much fun. Tonia, Craig, and I went to stay at an all inclusive hotel here on the island, it was on the beach, outside of the town Lucea. It was a great place with beautiful rooms, lots of food, and lots and lots wind. We had a good time laying out in the sun, reading, playing bingo, going to the shows, and playing pool. After we were done with the hotel we drove through Negril where we walked on white sandy beaches, looked off of cliffs into the beautiful water, and watched some kids get in trouble from some police men. Once we left Negril we headed to YS Falls where there was tons of fun to be had. I posted some pictures so you all could take a look.
Oh, sweet! Look at that form! Perfect Tonia.
This is my "I really love golf" face. Can't you see it in the eyes?

This is a photo of the other side of the bay from where we were staying. If you look really close you can see some small white building on the left side of the picture. Well that was the hotel that we stayed in and it is actually huge! Humm... I don't think that is suppose to be there. What do you think?


Some locals playing a beloved game of cricket.

hurray! for YS Falls! YS Falls is a series of short water falls here on the island. We took a tractor ride up to the falls, where there was a pool to swim in, a gift shop, and a walk way following along up the falls. At the falls we took pictures, met Omar (my new boyfriend), swam in the river, jumped off of the falls, swung from a rope, and fell a few times. Ya know the usual :)
We drove through some really pretty pasture land up to the Falls.

Oh, yet another Jamaican boy after my heart. Love is in the air... Jumping from a rope swing at YS falls. I always have to plug my nose, I don't know why it makes me look like a dork.


Ha ha, I look like a drowned puppy dog. They said that it would feel like a massage but it really just hurt.


Hi Tonia.

what a cute bird!!!

Its party time!

This weekend Tonia, Craig, and I went to a Jamaican party, and it was interesting to say the least. There was good food, drinks, loud music, and lots and lots of weed. Ya know a typical Jamaican party. It was tons of fun, we met some interesting people, swam in the river, and ate some good food (well, goat for me). The Jamaican men are well... a bit forward. I had a couple of guys want to "get to know me" I guess you could say. Kind of crazy! Anyway take a look at our Jamaican day.
