Grand Cayman

Our last stop was to the Grand Cayman Islands. Coconuts, turtles, stingrays, and literal Hell. It was nice. The islands were absolutely beautiful and the people were so welcoming. We went to the sea turtle farm on the main island, which we quickly found out that the people actually farmed the turtles as their main protein source back in the day but since has become a conservation for the sweet little (big) turtles. (A quick side note: don't hate me, but I loved the turtles so much they're getting their own post, so hold your horses until tomorrow.) Afterwards we took a boat ride out into the middle of the ocean to swim with, feed, hug and kiss, yes kiss, stingrays! They were so stinking cute and I want one as a pet. I mean, I could keep it in the bath tub or something right? The whole experience was awesome and I stuffed myself way too much with coconut water/meat. It was a great day.

Jamaican Beer Can

Jamaica, I love you. It was so wild and exciting. My family and I got real jerk chicken, learned to speak Patois, and went swimming on horseback in the ocean. It was absolutely killer. Also I got a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and am now convinced one has never had coffee until they've had that. Most of my photos were snapped while on the go, being that I couldn't take my camera in the ocean while being tossed around on a 5'7'' bareback Jamaican stallion! Nonetheless I got a few good ones. Jamaica is definitely a place I need to stay for two or three weeks. There was so much exploration to be done. I could go on for hours...

The Ancient City

Yesterday we stopped in Cozumel, a tiny island off the coast of Mexico. It was beautiful! At first I was a little upset because right off the port there's all these "authentic" Mexican shops that catered to pasty and overweight American. I wanted the real thing. Thankfully we took a short taxi ride, a 30 minute ferry, and a 45 minute van ride to the ancient Mayan city of Tulum. Now that's what I'm talking about! It was absolutely breathtaking. I cannot wait to go back.

Old Dairy Road

Yesterday Dylan and I biked to this crazy flea market near my house. Its a giant warehouse stuffed to the ceiling with old antiques. Anything you can think of, it's there. The trick is you have to find it! Its so fun to get lost in there for a while. Here's some photos of what we came across:
