We love the Cayman Islands!!!!!

We had a great time in the Cayman Islands. We spent a week with my cousin Murray and his wife Ginny. The weather was around 80 degrees the whole time. Ginny is a fabulous cook, Chad was in heaven with the home cooked meals. They drive on the left side of the road there and have a bunch of round-abouts. Chad did very well driving over there, only almost killed us twice ;) The beaches are gorgeous and the water is like a swimming pool.

We went to the Turtle Farm. They have thousands of turtles, they breed them and return them to the wild. We got to hold some of them. Chad wanted to try eating turtle, but we never went to a restaurant that had it on the menu.

There is a place in the Cayman Islands called Hell. You can send postcards marked "from Hell". It's a place where the volcanic rock is visible, with a souvenir shop and a little old man running around dressed as the devil. You have to go there.



We swam with the Stingrays. That was really fun. A boat took us to a couple places to snorkel by the reef and then to Stingray City. The stingrays are really tame and we got to hold them and kiss them. Isn't the water beautiful?
We even went to some Yard Sales! That is Chad, Ginny and Murray.
There were a lot of A/C units for Chad ;)
This is how we spent one day, bummin' on the beach in hammocks. This place is called Rum Point. It was a pretty popular place to be.
This is at The Queens Botanical Gardens. We saw some huge lizards and a snake here. Chad was thinking about climbing this tree to get some coconut water.
We went out to dinner with Ginny, Bonnie (cousin), her daughter Trina, her husband Andrew (he took us on a submarine ride earlier that day) and Murray.


This is downtown Georgetown. There were 5 cruise ships in this day. They have chickens that run wild like cats. We thought it was funny to see them at the KFC. They must have very fresh chicken.
















We had a great vacation (thanks again Ginny and Murray) We can't wait for our next visit.
