Last month in Cayman and one more competitive swim

We are into our last month in Cayman and spending time with Katie's sister Melanie who is with us through next week.  We are selling the last of the stuff not coming home and basically trying to close out all our affairs here ahead of ICCI's graduation in a few weeks and our final departure on either the 30th or 31st.  The month did get a little more interesting as I have joined a team that is doing a Half Iron Man competition on the 20th.  I am doing the swim portion which is 1.2 miles long and precedes a 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run.  I have set a long term goal of doing a half iron man completely by myself by the end of 2014 so starting 2013 doing just one part of it is a great beginning to that goal.  We are both training for the half marathon in March back in Dallas too so we are getting in runs when we can also.

Here are some shots we got of Arianna earlier this week with another of the Blue Iguana statues that is now on display at the National Gallery.
