5 Days Post Little Cayman

August 16, 2016 by Victoria Oriole Leave a Comment

I have been back in civilization for 5 days now and I can honestly say that I wish I was still in Little Cayman. We filled out a survey after the trip and one of the questions asked, “Rank the length of the trip from too short to too long.” I ranked it too short […]

I unfortunately came home from the Cayman Islands last night around 12 AM, so, I did not have time to write a post the night before I left because I had to wake up early to pack the next morning. Anyway, the last few days in Little Cayman were some of the best of my […]

My group submitted our proposal […]

I actually took a coral identification test yesterday where we had to SCUBA dive down and name 19 coral species and determine their bleach index; I […]

Day 4 in Little Cayman

July 29, 2016 by Victoria Oriole Leave a Comment

I have been in Little Cayman for four days now and my first impression of the island is unbelievable. The local population is 150 people; there are 5 children in their school and everyone knows everyone. I’ve heard of small towns, but never small countries like that. We ride bikes everywhere we go, and there […]
