Rick and Nancy headed to Grand Cayman for a couple of weeks in January. They stayed on Seven Mile Beach, but I'm told that it is also called Six Mile. Hmmm..who's counting.
Anyhoo--here is proof that if you supply the right kind of beach, sunshine and easy to use snorkeling gear that you CAN get Nancy out into the water. Check out dad's guns in the stingray pic! Apparently, rays are very docile creatures yet weigh a hefty 80 some pounds--this explains "Cajun Joe" or I mean "Caymanian Joe" helping out dad in the picture. Doesn't Joe look like he's been rode hard and put away wet?! And to think, he's only 21. Kidding...

Dad's best bud from junior high, Dave Umberger, a professional photographer for Purdue University took these photos while visiting mom and dad.
Now, Rick and Nancy are somewhere in Greece...I think Kalambaka or Meteora. On Monday, they get on a boat and cruise to Poros, Tinos, Delos, Santorini, Naxos and Syros. Damn the bad luck!

Yes, your parents are cool, but how about that dude helping Rick pet the dolphin? What's HIS story?! ;-)
Caymanian Joe has been leading tours to Sting Ray City for 20 some years. He's a Danish transplant, I think. Rick knows more of the dish though...
Hey your parents are cool, but not as cool as your husband who called me last night in rare form.... hilarious, and very very cool.
Guess what, his name is Cary, and the boat belonged to his Dad, long time aquaintance of Joe Creber. His job was to encourage the stingrays to hang around and show off. Cary also dove for star fish, sand dollars and conch shells.
