It was a beautiful day today here on Little Cayman.  This morning, I tidied up the beach.  The famous sticker removal job.  Of any work one can do, that is the worst!  I can cut brush in the jungle, move heavy rocks, rake dinner plate size leaves...nothing compares to sticker removal from sand.  It must be done.  I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in the sticker maze.  Each year it is less of a problem.

This afternoon, I celebrated this glorious day in the water.  How lucky am I!!  This evening we went to a presentation on Mercury levels in fish.  It was presented by Dr. Cecelia Chen from Dartmouth College.  She is working with the CCMI research lab on Little Cayman.  When we got home we spent some time enjoying the beautiful starry sky.  Soon the bright moon will rise. 

We have finally found a few geckos on our property.  What a find!  This morning, a very large iguana named Lionel, visited us.  He brought with him two very young iguanas.  One was very small, and the other just a little bit bigger.  This is good news.  We want to have a good population of rock iguanas. 

Our new chest freezer is now safely installed in our storage room.  It arrived on the barge with no issues.  Now I can stock up on food when they have something in our tiny store.  We are really accumulating things on this island.  The freezer will be another thing to do when we leave in April.  It will have to be defrosted and cleaned too.
