Even Peace Corps Volunteers deserve a little vacation! Irene and I had to go to the Peace Corps office in Kingston for meetings (about 6 hours travel from our home in the 'bush')...so, we stopped on our return for 2 nights in Ocho Rios ("Ochi") - a nice hotel with hot water, a wonderful meal in a superb beachside restaurant, and some sightseeing in our current homeland - we even now qualify for Jamaican prices since we are not considered tourists.

We rented a boat - stopped at Fisherman's Beach to pick up Lobster, Bammy & Festivals:
...view through the glass bottom boat over the reef:
In the evening, a wonderful on-the-beach restaurant - Bamboo Blu:
....with truly gourmet food and music too:

| And our names in fire on the beach! |

...the view from our hotel balcony:
It was just a 2 night get-a-way, but we are
really enjoying getting to know our island home better.
