Close Encounters in Paradise (Part 2)

Day 5: Monday, May 18, 2009

We awoke again to blue skies, white cumulus clouds, and the sound of gentle waves against the beach. It sure beats the sound of my alarm clock, and it got me out of bed quicker too! We were eager to see what the day would bring. It was another perfect day for the beach, but we had an important meeting with the dolphins today, so the beach would have to wait. It was a once in a lifetime experience--a taste of heaven possibly--interacting and swimming with dophins! There are many very affluent and wealthy Adventists on Grand Cayman, so rolling with "Pastor Jeff and Team" definitely had its perks.

Of note, as you walk around the island, you can't help but notice chickens and roosters roaming around freely. Nobody really knows who they belong to, but if you were homeless and were able to get your hands on some jerk rub, you'd probably live pretty well. That being said, the one nice thing about the Cayman Islands is that there are no panhandlers or homeless folk. Even though the cost of living is higher than the United States, the Camanians are all hard-working and friendly.
