One thing that has really struck us since we moved to Grand Cayman is the number of people who are usually walking by the side of the road hitch hiking around. Because the Island is so small it is not at all uncommon to pick up people and give them a ride. It took us about a month to get used to it but now we will stop to pick people up and take them as far as we are going all the time. It really adds to a sense that this is a close knit community with people helping strangers for no personal benefit, just to be a good neighbor. We noticed it on Cayman Brac when several people slowed while we were hiking and asked us if we needed a ride. Its like everyone is looking out for each other. In the U.S. you just dont pick up hitchers, here it is normal and accepted.
