WE are back from Jamaica! So glad to be home. That is deffientaly not a place i would ever care to go to again unless i stayed at Samsara resort the whole time. Dont get me wrong, its gorgeous. But its a third world country.. they are VERY poor, so when they see you in this nice resort, and all this money, it can become a problem... they do their living off taxis, and selling what they make on the street. Which is very beautiful. I made friends with a family of 8 who lived in a three bedroom house. Karen works braiding hair and selling mango's off the street. Her husband drives Taxis. She is the most sweetest lady you will ever meet. Family comes first to her. doesn't matter if its her grand baby and momma, they are always welcome to live at her house even if its sleeping on the kitchen floor. She made them feel welcome. She is very sweet. She always makes the time to make food for them, even her dog, cargo. they don't have much. but they stay together. EVEN THE DOG:) she charged me 30 and i gave her 50. We keep in contact:) We went snorkeling. such beautiful waters... saw sting and mana wrays.. huge ones. dolphins. all kinds of beautiful fish.. an experience i will never forget. The water there is so warm... We made really good friends with Connie and Tom. Such wonderful people. We kinda stayed together. They were at Samsara resort with us, until we had to leave. again we exchanged emails. Connie is such a wonderful person. and Tom included us and just made us feel safe. They are from Atlanta. :) Shopping was quite the experience. i love the way they decorate their houses with bright beautiful colors and birds, dolphins lizards etc.. i love it. such beautiful skin color over there. The houses and stores are painted bright colors. Turquoise, hot pink, lime green, etc.... there are goats everywhere.
Ben jumped off the cliffs and loved it. went out in a glass bottom boat, swam with dolphins and enjoyed multiple pina coladas a day:) loved the ocean. felt so close and safe near it. Missed my boys most of all though!!!! Ricks cafe was great. The music is just to die for!!!! Such talent over there! so was stepping on an urchin and the jelly fish sting.... but over all it was a nice get away. one Ben and i needed.
