Last summer, my husband and I went to Jamaica for a long overdue honeymoon (7 years, but who's counting). We stayed at the Inn across from the public beach. It was SO amazing to watch the nightlife, the culture of the people.
Each morning, the grandma's came for their exercise and brought their grandchildren with them. During the day, mothers came with multiple children in tow (so cute to watch). In the evenings, throngs of young men and women came to the public beach after work. They hung out with their friends, flirted with those they were interested in, and stayed 'til predawn hours. Some travelers might have been irritated by the noise, but we loved to sit on our balcony and soak up their energy.
The night before we left, I saw this sweet, young couple, obviously on a date, sitting quietly on the sea wall at sunset. This picture reminds me of the time my husband and I spent reconnecting in Jamaica. It makes me smile each time I see it, and I hope it does the same for you!
I found your blog through flying lessons- I like to check in and visit everyone's blogs when everyone goes to bed. My husband had an unexpected day off work today and we spent it being tourists in our own city (without the kids!) It was a fantastic day and I can totally relate to connecting with the one you love!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked it Michele! Oddly enough, we just got 4 unexpected days without our kiddos - and got to be tourists in our own city too. We forgot how much we like each other - it reminded us of our trip to Jamaica!
