Dark Knight and Wreck Snorkeling

Friday, Russ and Gail got the ultimate Cayman experience with a trip out to the sand bar to meet the stingrays. They had a blast but both got sunburned. Saturday needed to be a little slower pace so we went to the Marquee theatre and saw the Dark Knight during a matinee showing. The old style Cayman theatre is probably not going to be around much longer. The Hollywood theatre showings of the Dark Knight were all sold out while we were in an almost empty theatre. The movie was really good and we finished the day making tacos back at the house for dinner. Today we went to both the Wreck of the Gamma and the Wreck of the Callie to snorkel. While snorkeling, we saw a new species of squid and some unusual porcupine fish hiding under both wrecks. We got to try out our new underwater case for the digital camera and it worked great. We finished the day with dinner at The Lobster Pot which overlooks the north end of the George Town harbor. We sat next to the window and got a tremendous view of the water, the harbor and the school of tarpon hanging out below the deck just under the restaurant. Scott's father John is on Island teaching his class again this weekend so we have a full house.
