Odds and Ends

It has been a while since we posted not because nothing has been happening but because we have been quite busy between some health scares, changes at our work and the end of the term as well as getting ready for the start of the summer term.  A new President has been appointed at the college and she will be starting next month so we know July will be eventful.  It has also been a bit dreary down here as rainy season is beginning to kick in.  In many ways the Cayman Islands are a paradise for eight months out of the year but we are in the four that aren't and with the mosquito's and the heat and the rain its hard to say this is living in paradise right now.  We have started tentatively our triathlon training for November and are beginning to set workout goals that will build up to what we need to be doing to finish a sprint triathlon of 800 meters swimming, 20km of biking and 5 km of running. 

Meanwhile, we have now rolled out the new National Health Policy and Strategic Plan.  Yesterday the final document was presented to government and a reception was held at the Governor's residence on Seven Mile Beach.  Here is a photo from our original planning meeting back in May of the full group that was a part of the development of this plan.
