Grand Cayman Island Part II

I have been wanting to finish posting some pictures from our trip and here they are! 
I'm having a lot of trouble with blogger tonight and have lost all patience, so the result is 
a post with a lot of pictures in no particular order.
Oh well.
This trip was so much fun.
It feels like it was forever ago and I wish we could go back!
Since we rented a car, we were able to spend a lot of our days driving around and exploring different beaches and snorkel spots. 
The snorkeling is so beautiful there, it really made us want to
get certified for scuba diving.
We also did a tour one day that took us to Star Fish Point and Sting Ray city.
The starfish were pretty cool to see just wandering around
 in the clear water and the stingrays were so fun.
It was really weird because there are so many of the stingrays just swimming around 
because they get fed. 
We were told that when they swim past you, you should never lift your feet up to prevent getting stung. So you basically just had to walk around and then try 
to stand still and not think about 
how they are swimming so close.
They were even swimming up onto us (as in swimming off the sand bottom and covering you up to your waist with their stomaches). It was so cool!
You could hold them and let them suck food out of your hand.
One of the tour guides made me kiss one for 7 years of good luck.
I will keep you posted as to whether or not that is true.

Grand Cayman Island Part I


A few weeks ago, Morgan and I were able to spend a week in the Cayman Islands. It also happened to be over our 3 year anniversary, which was really fun. We have been really lucky and have spent lots of our anniversaries on the beach. We went to Belize for our honeymoon, and then for our first anniversary we took a break from our stay in Singapore and went to an island in Malaysia. I think in terms of the beach itself, this one was the best.
We were upgraded to an ocean front room so we could just walk out to the beach and we had a great view of the sunset every night
We spent most of our first day relaxing on the beach and snorkeling around on Seven Mile Beach. 
This place was amazing, the water was beautiful, the sand was white, and the snorkeling was amazing.
On our second day we went fly fishing with a guide that Morgan found. Unfortunately, we didn't catch a single fish, but the views were still beautiful.
