Close Encounters in Paradise (Part 1)

Day 4: Sunday, May 17, 2009

After a blessed Sabbath, we were exhausted. We fell asleep almost as soon as our heads hit our pillows. The weather at night is so perfect here in the Caymans... it gets cool, but still warm enough that you don't need covers; the humidity is just enough to keep your skin moist but not uncomfortable; and there are no bugs (except the occasional mosquito), only lizards.

In the morning, we went to visit some of the local wildlife. We went snorkeling at Cemetery Beach (named for the cemetery you walk through to get to the beach). Israel saw a large stingray. We then went to the Turtle Farm and actually got to hold some green sea turtles! Aileen loved the turtles and kept trying to fish them out of their tanks to hold them!

In the evening, we all got dressed up for the highly anticipated concert by Scott Michael Bennett. It lived up to all the hype and all in attendance were thoroughly blessed.
