We had a couple visit us
for a long weekend when we were in the Cayman’s last month. They are a very fit couple who would get up
early each morning for a 6 mile run before enjoying the rest of the day. We spent time each day snorkeling, bike
riding and jet-skiing. There are many
great perks about having friends visit on the island, and one of them is that
you do things that you know every tourist should do.
On Saturday we hopped on
the jet skis and headed to Stingray City.
This is a sand-bar situated between Rum Point the main part of the
island. It’s halfway across the Cove and you can see all of the boats anchored
there when you look out from the beach.
When we got there we
anchored the jet skis and stood on the bar among the hundreds of stingrays.
They glide past you slowly, and some nudge you as they pass by. They are very friendly and seem to enjoy the
attention. We left stingray city and
went on to visit Cabana Bay, Morgan’s Harbor, Stingray City and then landed
back at Rum Point. It was an incredible,
beautiful adventure.
Our friends have an
amazing underwater camera, and were able to get amazing shots all throughout
their stay. Each night Ed would download the pics onto my computer so I could
have copies. That night I saw some of
the underwater shots from Stingray City.
“Oh my GOD! Look at that
@$$! Do NOT share that pic!” I said to him laughing. “Yikes!”
“No!” Donna said, “No,
that’s not…”
“Oh stop!” I said to
Donna. “Don’t try to make me feel better! That @$$ is huge!”
“No,” she interrupted again,
trying to make me feel better.
“Listen,” I said to her, “I
need to print that picture and put it on my fridge! I will never eat again!”
“No, what I was trying to
say is…That’s ME. That’s MY @$$.”
Gulp.
“See?” she pointed, “That’s
MY bathing suit. And I do try to run
every day….”
“Oh my GOD. Wait. Oh.
Well, um, that @$$ is VERY tiny. VERY,
VERY TINY.”
Oh my sweet Jesus in
heaven, why can’t I keep my mouth SHUT ONCE IN A WHILE?
(You know I like to
#*$& up once a day. It keeps me
humble.)
