They look so graceful

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved .

Sue, you mentioned on the "Can You Swim" Poll that you can't. You really can still see them quite well in Grand Cayman without getting into the water! Normally, on the catamaran excursions to Stingray City a crew member will lift one out of the water for people who don't wish to get into the water to pet. You know how clear the water is there so you can easily see them swimming around. Hope you'll get to do this the next time you're in Grand Cayman!

Sue, at Stingray City in Grand Cayman the water is only about waist deep so there is no swimming - at least not by humans. The rays on the other hand swim all around you. It is an amazing expierence.

But, of course, when we get sun rays, they filter down into the water so we can better see the sting rays!
