One of the great pleasures about being in Cayman is to have guests over. I recently had the privilege of having my dad over for a week. Its obviously different from “back home” where we see our friends and family for a day or less most of the time. So when in Cayman, we get to spend lots of quality time with our loved ones and in a great place.
I also got to discover something new about my 77 year old dad: The man is a snorkeling manic! He had only snorkeled once in his life before (in Cayman a few years back, but not in ideal conditions) This time we did it right and started with easy stuff and moved on to bigger and better snorkeling. What a great time we had!
Here is a great shot of us in the very calm waters that week-end – we were really lucky as the conditions were close to perfection. Although he’s a good swimmer, I insisted he wear a life vest for which he did not put up much of a fuss 🙂
We also got to see some lovely turtles at Spotts Beach
As well as all kinds of coral formations with plenty of fish!
Here is a short video of him snorkeling at Cemetery Beach – with all the fish around, its easy to see why he had such a good time.
What do to after all that exercise in the water? Head over to CayBrew for a cold beer of course 🙂
We our course went to the beach, the Crystal caves, a Sunday brunch, the Submarine,etc. Essentially to many of the things residents don’t really do unless we have friends or family in town. Of course, each time i’m more than happy to do them all over again and again.
