Tuesday/ Grand Cayman Islands

 it was a beautiful day when we pulled into Grand Cayman Island.  Our scheduled tour wasn't until 3PM, so we took the 1st tender in and roamed around the town, ending up in Margaritaville, where we had a beer, watching the scene around us.
 how many of these kids will end up with a hangover in the morning?




 walked by a School where uniformed children were out playing in the yard.


 can't believe how many Jewlery stores there are in the area....
 got on the (un-airconditioned) tour bus and ended up in Hell...literally...
  Hell is a very small little town, that has it's own Post Office and Surprise! a couple of gift shops.....
 we stopped by here to "sample" rum cakes and of course, another gift shop!

 then a turtle farm...where they keep hundreds of turtles...

 they aren't as strict here on the Islands about Turtle preservation as they are in the US....some  of these are doomed for turtle soup and shells sold for jewelry etc...

 Surprise! another gift shop to visit at the Turtle Farm!

 on the whole, we were really disappointed in this tour...it was mostly stopping so we could purchase souveniers along the way......
an addition to our growning little towel zoo awaited us when we got back from dinner and the show...it was "Shout" which was excellent!
