On Grand Cayman, we took a boat 20 minutes off shore to a sand bar. We were standing in the middle of the ocean and the water was up to our waists. At this spot, there are lots of sting rays that come in to get fed and petted. We held squid (ewe) in our hands, under the water, and the sting ray would swim over our hands and suck the squid out of our hand! Amazing! It felt like the end of my vacuum. Those sting rays were humungous! About the size of my coffee table. And they'd come swim right next to our legs, scary at first, but I got over it. Our guide then grabbed one and we all had our pictures taken with it. We kissed it and held it, pretty cool, too bad the pictures were way expensive.








After we played with the sting rays, our captain took us to an area where the water is about 10 feet deep and we snorkeled. We saw lots of different colored fish. I just love swimming in the ocean.

Yes, I'm a dorky tourist who had my picture taken with the really cool looking iguana!


So, Grand Cayman Island used to be known as Tortuga. Remember from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean? We had to have our pictures taken with some local pirates that still hang around.

"Arrr me hearties!"

"Shiver me timbers!"
