We spent an off-season vacation at the Grand Lido Negril, Jamaica.  The resort was not full, so we tended to see the same people over and over and so we developed some good friendships.  The following are 54 of the 142 pictures we took.

This is the scene right outside our door.  It's the clothing-optional beach, and the sign says no photography :-)

Looking to the left from our patio -- the 'clothing optional' bar, pool, and hot tub.

Our sitting room, as opposed to our bedroom, which is through the door to the right.

Still

Yet again

The AC was so good in our room that the camera fogged up when we went outside, resulting in some very artistic pictures.

The view from our front door -- the snack and drink bar open 24x7.

The old "cotton" tree with impressive roots

The Grand Lido plaque on the roots

Just a scene of the grounds

The spa, where we got manicures, and where Skip arranged for her 3 massages.

When Betsy & Missy left, they gave us some bread they had been using to attract fish to the pier.  It worked.

Ah.  Rick's cafe, Negril, known for its divers and sunset views.  Here are some of each.  Note the diver in a mid air in a tuck position

A diver climbed up the tree, then swung out and hung by one arm

Then he got back on the tree and prepared to dive

Here he is in mid air, doing a backward swan dive

First sunset picture.  It's too cloudy for the "green flash"

The maid put flower pedals and folded a towel into a design on our bed each day
