Stingrays and Snorkeling

Mom- touching a stingray- the tops are all sandpapery feeling. Me holding a stingray- the bottom is smooth and not as scary as first believed!!
Mom and I while we were snorkelling!
Orman-one of our tour guides!!

Only a few feet under- the reef runs the whole way around the island!

Day tripping

We rented a car for a day and mom drove on the left side of the road...since this is a British Colony. So we went around the island and stopped at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park, and there were Iguanas!! We ate lunch at Rum Point...and then drove back to Georgetown where there were many people from the Cruise ships that had stopped.

Out to dinner

Mom and I at the Westin Resort where we stayed, before we went to catch one of the local buses to a restaurant. The buses see you on the side of the road and honk, and if you need a ride, you wave your hand....much more entertaining than the more expensive taxis. Can you see the beautiful sunset behind us?!

arrival

This is the airport at Grand Cayman Island! The end of the runway was only 50ft. from the ocean...and as we got off of the plane, there was a band playing reggae! What a wonderful arrival.

Another season has come to an end

I am very excited for this year's March Madness. I did have high hopes that KSU would make it to the tournament, with 21 wins this year under new head Coach Huggins...but at least we will start filling the stadium next year.

So- Rock Chalk Jayhawk, go KU!!

Formal with TBH...

Shawn and I at dinner during his formal....at Little Apple Brewery.

St. Patrick's Day

Ross, Christi, Catherine, and I sharing stories and drinks at Pat's Bar for the occasion. I saw so many people out that I haven't seen in forever...they said I should go out more, but I usually prefer to remember most of my evenings!

PS- can you tell I've been tanning for 3 weeks, to get ready for Spring Break next week?

March here already?

This was before I went out this past weekend with Callie and the gang. I had bought a bottle of wine from Cotes-du Rhone (which was near where I studied abroad)! It was very dry and oaky tasting...I recommend it to anyone.

PS- there's a Rick Steves- Italy book on the floor:)
