Re: OchoRios - My First (And Definitely Not My Last) Trip To Jamaica
He then takes me to Discovery Park. He pulls the car into a parking area and tell me that I should get out and take some pictures. The water was beautiful. This is the place where Columbus first landed in the Caribbean.
As we are leaving, a cute Rasta is yelling at the car. I can’t hear what he is saying, but the driver tells me that he wants me to check out his art. I’m checking him out and I tell the driver that I spent all of my money at the craft market in Ochi. He tells this to the Rasta in patois and the Rasta throws kisses at me. (my last kiss in Jamaica)
The rest of the ride was the same. The driver just keeps telling me all these stories about his life. Like everyone else that I’ve met this week, he is a hard worker. He tells me that when he drops me off he has about 4 more people to drop off at different hotels. We are getting closer and closer to the airport and I’m getting sadder and sadder. When we see the airport sign I scream no-I’m not ready yet. The driver tells me that he has extra time and will give me a tour of Montego Bay. I started jumping up and down in the seat saying-Thank you so much, I really needed this. The driver is from Montego Bay so he takes me all around. I would have gotten some great shots, but sorry I already took over 300 pictures and my camera is out of film. I enjoyed that ride so much. Montego Bay looks beautiful. The water is so blue. I see some people out playing football. I wished that I could stop and watch the game. Too soon the driver is taking me back to the airport. When we park I tell him thanks so much. I’m so happy that he was my driver today. He stopped all along the route so I could stare at the ocean, he told me the funniest stories and he was just so nice. He told me that I shouldn’t be sad and if I wanted to stay an extra week I could go home with him. During the entire trip he was looking at me in THAT way. I swear-if he hadn’t just offered for me to be his love slave for a week(and let me tell you he was serious) I would have given him the biggest kiss(on the cheek) because he just made my day. I told him bye, gave him a big tip, and headed into the airport.
