Jamaica Day One. 10.18.2012

We arrived in Negril, Jamaica yesterday afternoon. Driving through a rain storm I would have never believed the morning would have been as beautiful as it was when we woke up to the sun shining through the large palm trees with a peek of the Tiffany blue ocean and clean white sand.  It was the morning of our 10 year anniversary and we were relaxing on our balcony each with a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and a basket of pastries, fresh cut fruit, and jams the staff had delivered just seconds ago to our room. We were greeted at exactly 9am with a sweet "good morning and Happy Anniversary to ya" The rest of the day was absolutely amazing. After breakfast we lounged in the water for what seemed like hours. For lunch we ventured outside the hotel and walked to a local hole in the wall restaurant called Ossie's which one of the local guys we met had recommended for jerk chicken. The building was a small colorful little hut that had three tables, two customers that had probably been there all day talking and just hanging out, and a little Jamaican woman with a big smile on her face that read "what can I make for you today." The chicken was amazing!! And the new friends we made were quite the characters. Next was another hour laying on the beach, which was probably the most relaxing hour we both have had in months. The walk back to our room was equally as beautiful. The paths are covered in tropical plants and running pond with the sounds of birds chirping just like you would imagine for the Caribbean. After washing up we decided to have an early dinner which was a great idea considering the bottom fell out of the sky as soon as we arrived to the restauraunt. We ate at The Palms which was a covered outdoor restaurant attached to the hotel. We sat as close to the outside as possible so we could watch the tropical rain fall around us. The food was excellent! Way better than what we were expecting for all inclusive. All in all our first day was exactly what we both had wished for and could not have been a more wonderful anniversary! I'm lucky to have such an amazing husband! Until tomorrow's cup.....
