We go to the Cayman Islands every year to go scuba diving. Our last trip was
in April, 2001.
Where the heck are the Cayman Islands? You can see them on this
map -- they are the little specks of dust just south of Cuba.

Here are a few pictures Linda took on land. See the underwater photos here.

Ah, Rum Point -- the best place in the world to watch a
sunset. We found ourselves here almost nightly, laying in hammocks with
good books until the sun dipped so low over the water that we couldn't see
anymore. |
 |
It looks inviting, doesn't it? Unfortunately, the reef comes
right up to the shore, the water is very shallow, and you could cut
yourself to pieces by swimming at this spot on the south side of the
island. |

This picture was taken near a place on the south side of the
island called "the Blow Holes", for obvious reasons. I think it
was named after my boss, George. |

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... |

Another of Linda's Rum Point sunset pictures. |
 |
Here's Linda in one of her favorite spots on a small north
side beach. This part of the island is not very populated, and so you can
walk along looking for bleached coral for a long time without seeing
another soul. |
 |
Doesn't this look like a mirror-image photo? But we haven't
digitally altered it at all. We found these two guys (or two girls?
Hmmm...) on a log in a park on the way from the resort into town. Cayman
lizards look a lot like Florida lizards, but they are bigger and have
curly tails. |
 |
Yes, it's Rum Point again. We took so many pictures of
sunsets here because, well, every night we'd say, "Can you believe
that sunset? The people back home are never going to believe this unless
we take a picture..." |
 |
Linda's standing on an overhang at Smith's Cove, another of
our favorite spots. (Are there any spots in the Caymans that aren't our
faves? I'll have to think about that.) We usually do a shore dive here, but this
trip we only had time to stop and take a photo and wonder what we were
missing 100 yards out and 60 feet down. |

Somewhere on the south side of the island again -- I don't
even know where because everywhere you look all over the island, there's water and sky this
blue. |
