Cayman Islands: Flowering Bush     I have no idea what type of bush or shrub it is, but there were three colors in one hedge row. White, pink/purple and a light orange or salmon color.   Bonus shot of a turtle at the turtle farm on the north end of the island.

At some point I will get the pictures developed from the dive and post them. (Assuming any of them turn out. Taking pictures underwater is a challenge, especia...

Seems like a valid question. Not about prostitution per se, but our current moral values and where we are headed. If a person has to sell their body to make a living what does that say about society? (Lets ignore the fact that the vast majority of sex workers have been forced into the life.) What...

Jamaica: Cruise 2013 The sun was nice and bright as we headed into port at Jamaica. In Jamaica your ship docks and you walk into town. In Caymans you take a boat from ship to shore.  Just looking at the island from the ship as we came into port. Great views from our balcony. I highly recommend a ...
