(Half Moon Beach, Negril)Happy Sunday to you all! I just spent a couple of days in Negril, one of the most laid-back beach cities in Jamaica. Known as the "King of Casual," Negril barely feels like a tourist town. It is simple and small with a 7 mile stretch of white beach and a few hotels and attractions. You are free to dress casually and it is never crowded. Basically it is nothing like the bigger resort cities like Ochi and Montego Bay. I stayed with my friends and fellow PCVs (Tami, Brian & Yvonne, Nick and Tom) and spent some much needed time visiting, eating, and relaxing. I even got a haircut courtesy of Yvonne!
Saturday, Tami took us to Half Moon Beach where the sands are white, the water is clear, and the food is delicious (and 20% off for PCVs...nice!). We spent all day there soaking up the sun and snorkling, grabbed Burger King for dinner (score!) and headed up to the famous Rick's Cafe to watch an incredible sunset. There is also a 35foot diving cliff at Rick's that some people choose to jump off of into the gorgeous blue ocean below, but it is not for the faint of heart.
This short trip was a breath of fresh air and I am feeling re-energized and ready to get back to work tomorrow. Sorry that this post is so short and uneventful but I just wanted to take advantage of the internet while I have it.
Have a great week, everyone!
