Back in the USA!

Hello fellow tines - I am finally back in Michigan! I had an awesome spring break in the Grand Cayman Islands. The food was amazing, the beach was beautiful, and the sea breeze was refreshing!

My favorite adventure during the break was when I went on a day trip to swim and play with sting rays! We boated to the middle of the ocean, where there was a shallow area where many sting rays like to swim and meet the tourists - some of them have been canoodling with tourists at the same spot for twenty years! They were a little scary at first, I must admit, but once I realized they were friendly and not dangerous, I had a lot of fun swimming with and touching them. Their hide feels extremely weird; it's really slimy and slippery. Rumor has it that kissing a sting ray gives you seven years of good luck, so here's a picture of me trying to kiss a sting ray I was holding!

The sting ray was very friendly!

Here are some more pictures from my wonderful trip! Enjoy!

Overall, I had a great vacation!
