Jamaica

Hi sweet boy. I am now in Jamaica and have been for the past 8 days. I leave tomorrow. It’s been amazing. I wish you were here. I didn’t go fishing because I thought, if I catch something, I don’t really have a way to cook it up. I brought Douglas to Margaritaville in Negril, Jamaica. I got you a T-shirt there from a stand. I hope you will like it. I got you some ginger cookies too. Hopefully they stay perfect and not get crumbled on my adventures. I have been to amazing beaches with perfect white sand and the turquoise sea. In colors you couldn’t even believe are real! The water is warm and even the sand under the water is warm! I have eaten all kinds of Jamaican jerk everything. They also do lots of breadfruit, mango, pineapple, watermelon and banana. The main side dish is peas and rice but it is brown hard peas that they cook. They love hot sauce, like you do. I mostly have gone to the beach, rode in the taxi, gone to the grocery and made new friends. People are so friendly here, I may return. Hopefully you will be able to join me then. Love you. It’s been 9 months since I have truly talked to you. Hopefully soon we can catch up again. Love, Mom.
