Peace, love and respect

Peace, love and respect

There is much to learn and experience in Jamaica. One of the surprising lessons is the Jamaican secret handshake.

You grasp each other’s right hand by the fingers with thumbs upright. Next you flick each other’s thumbs rapidly three times one for peace, one for love and one for respect.

That pretty much sums up the warmth of the people we have met.

Today was a good day to slow down and soak in the sun, dip in the beach and interact with guests and resort staff.

Our meals today ranged from a Jamaican breakfast in the beachside seafood restaurant, to barbecue jerk chicken on the beach for lunch and a “romantic dinner” of surf and turf elegantly served on the beach.

It is unusual to enjoy a special dinner within a few feet of the water with only the sound of waves gently lapping against the shore. There were 10 tables of couples enjoying their special evening.

Main feature of the night’s entertainment was a steel band of young pan players and dancers.

We are grateful for another day of memories to last a lifetime.

Yaaman!
