It was the rainy season, but when you get the opportunity to get out of Dodge, go.
I woke up on my 3rd day in Negril and it was a beutiful outside. I cleaned up and
Jogged over to my fav breakfast place and ate like a King.
With a full belly, I took a swim then headed back to the room for a shower.
The bathroom has a window in the shower, with wooden velour blids and a screen.
It's great, to take a shower and look outside at the same time.
So, i was bathimg and i hear this sound.
"What the?
It was the rain falling. I finished my shower, grabbed a towel and opened the hotel door. It was pouring down cats and dogs. The kind that lets you know it would not end soon.
So there i was, all clean and nowhere to go.
I dont watch T.V. too much while on vaca, but, what else could i do?
I sat down clicked on the tube and started surfing the cable.
I found the Western Channel and my heart skipped a beat.
I love, not like, love, old cowboy movies, the ones in
black and white.
I looked over and saw that my ice cooler was running low on ice. 15-20 cubes left from last night and alot of water. Looking down through the water and ice i could see a brown color.
Red Stripes! at least 3!
Man o man i was happy.
I got comfy and cracked the first cold one of the day.
I have learned to use a cigarette lighter to pop the top and i love the sound when you do it just right!
Nothing like a rainy day, sitting in your draws, watching Jimmy Stewart and his Winchester 57.
