Swimming with the 'rays in Grand Cayman

So I am having a heck of a time trying to get pictures uploaded. I am trying one more thing which I really hope will work.

We were in Grand Cayman today, and had an excursion to swim with the stingrays. We took a boat out to a sand bar where we could stand in about 4 feet of water. The stingrays swam around us, which was pretty freaky. In fact, Kim and I completely ignored the directions of our guide when one came sort of near us - we shreiked and jumped up and down. We looked real cool I'm sure! But we got used to it and got brave enough to touch them. I later put on goggles and a snorkel and watched them underwater - it was a whole lot less scary that way! When we got back to town we had lunch at a local restaurant and had typical Caymani food - fried mahi in a tomato-type sauce, beans and rice and fried bananas. Yummy! We headed back to the boat, played some bingo and watched Great White Sea on the Lido deck as we sailed away to Jamaica. We're off to dinner and a slew of concerts now...

My attempt to upload picture failed again. Sorry!

And, uh... if you want to sent us comments, please do!
