Friday Night Beach Bash!

So last night was the beach bash!  It was really fun however both Rob and I were super tired and I had a belly ache from too many Jamaican Smiles...(that's our FAVORITE drink)!  When we got to the party we were served a rum and juice cocktail in bamboo cups (that we got to keep as a souvenier) and the entire buffett was served in kayaks!  It was very cool!  They had a stage set up for the local band that would be playing for us and like 4 meat carving stations where they were serving Jerk Chicken, Pork Ribs, Beef and other stuff too!  Once dinner was over they started the entertainment and the band played some music!  I can't stop dancing and grooving to the beats of the reagge!  I love it!  When the band took a break they introduce "The Fire Kid" , he wasn't a kid...more of a young man and he did some dancing with two fire sticks and he would run the fire over his skin and on the bottoms of his feet! It was amazing!  Then he started running around the dinner tables and doing tricks and stuff right in front of the guests as we all  watched!  Then he ran right up to the tree I was standing under (Rob had ran to our room to get the video camera), he handed me one of his fire sticks and then climbed up into the tree and did some cool fire stuff in the tree.....all the while I'm still holding the fire stick and he finally jumps down and I go to hand him the fire stick and he grabs my hand in his hand and makes me feed him the fire!!!!!!!   It was sooooooo awesome....

     The bummer part was that Rob did return in time with the video camera and not only didnt catch it on the video but he missed the whole thing...!  Total bummer with that....but I guess I have the memory and we may  buy the photo from the resort...not sure yet..Oh yea...our regular camera battery was dead too...so I didnt even have that as an option! :o)  Oh well..."its no problem mon!"   That is what our friends here in Jamaica would be telling me! "Irie Mon"   :o)
