Jamaica Day 7

So it was our final day in Jamaica. It was a beautiful day. First we started with a nice leisurely breakfast and then sat on the beach digesting for a few hours. The sun was out, and all was right with the world. By about the third drink I decided seashell hunting was in order. I found none. We read and sunned and had much fun. The resort had a beach jeopardy game that we handily won. Yessss. The trip to the luminous lagoon worked out and we scarfed some burgers and hopped into the super nice taxi. I had been a little worried about it because most taxis are corollas or nissan sunnys, but this one was the driver's personal suv. Sweet. The driver was a regular resort bus driver but had her son drive us down there. He was a little younger than us and a really cool guy. I felt a little bad because it was a hour and a half drive down there, and hour of sitting for him, and then an hour and a half back. He played the radio and told us stuff about the "real" Jamaica. It was pretty fun. In fact, he and Emily hit it off discussing the ins and outs of Snape's role in Harry Potter. It was pretty cool. The luminous lagoon was absolutely amazing. Disturbance in the water made all the little bio luminescent organisms flare up. We got to swim in the water, and it was like you were glowing. Each movement made the water sparkle and shimmer, leaving trails of light in the water. When you liften your hand/leg/beard out of the water all the little creatures would flare like sparks. To make them glow bright, the lagoon is totally dark. Floating on your back and looking at the stars reflected by brilliant points of light in the water was stunning. It is probably one of the most moving and amazing things I have ever seen. I feel like I can't describe it well enough to do it justice, so I have sort of stumbled about with it. Emily said it was like Avatar in real life. It is silly, but that is how all of natural Jamaica feels. Beautiful. I have to go pack now, but I will try to add some details later.
