August 1, 2010 by DaveLeave a Comment

Ricks Cafe Negil Jamaica is located in the popular tourism town of Negril. In contrast to the smooth seven mile strip of the nearby "Seven Mile Beach", Rick's is perched on top of the West End Cliffs, a jagged set of rorck that affords one excellent views of the ocean.

Jamaica works her Magic!

July 22, 2010 by Dave1 Comment

Ingredients: Good People, Outdoor Adventure, Romance, Black Eyed Peas and a bit of Jamaican Rum (perhaps more than a bit)! We've heard that Jamaica has the most churches per capita and also the most Rum Bars - you can even find Rum bars at Churches - as well as on boats.
