Surprise Visitors

Yesterday evening Katie's parents Russ and Gail arrived for a two week vacation. Katie had no idea they were coming and even when we went out to the airport thought we were going to pick up someone coming down to the college. She found out as they were about to exit the plane and was very happy to have them down. We have snorkel trips planned all over the Island and with two weeks to do things want to hit all the highlights of Grand Cayman. This morning we got up early and went to Smith's Cove. The water was very choppy and murky so we only spent a few minutes before deciding to head over to Eden Rock where hopefully the visibility would be better. When we got in at Eden Rock the visibility was much better and we got a fantastic surprise, two young Green Turtles were hanging out near the entry point and we got to swim with them for a while. This was the first time since we have been down here that we saw green turtles in the wild while snorkeling and it was a great way to start Russ and Gail's first real snorkel of their vacation. We stayed out for about 45 minutes and the fish cooperated by swimming up to us and truly making it seem like we were swimming in a huge aquarium. We are working in the afternoons and evenings so they will be getting to rest during that time or we will drop them off at different places to explore on thier own. Should have a lot of updates with the fun things we get to do with them over the next two weeks.
