When we first arrived on Cayman, so many things that captured our attention. We were fascinated by the cow in the Ivan damaged building, enthralled by the chickens that crowd around your car at the grocery store, and interested in the crabs that would play "chicken" with the car as we were driving.
Now that we have been here three years, we have lost some of that wonder over the little things that make Cayman unique.
A few days ago, as we were heading home from the college, we saw a car with a white license plate (a tourist) parked in the middle of a field right in front of a bull covered in white birds. The tourists were taking pictures while the bull politely allowed them to. We'd passed that bull many times and the birds were just a part of the scene but we'd never thought of it as anything special. We'd lost that wonder at the little things that make Cayman, Cayman!
After dropping Scott off at work this morning, a white license plate car about 200 yards in front of me suddenly pulled to the side. I was going to stop to see if I could help but then I noticed the camera. Yet again a tourist had pointed out to me what we miss on our day to day trips through Cayman. She had stopped to take a picture of the newly erected, quite funny looking, goat farm that sits right along the bypass. Although we'd noticed it, we never thought anything of it. We've lost the wonder!
We need to work harder to notice the things that make this place special, the things that stand out to visitors as uniquely Cayman!
