Day 3: Sunday chez Cousin D. My cousin D lives in Grand Cayman and is a Cayman citizen, lucky him! He's the reason we are all here. I have something to learn from him...

So I went to church...pentecostal, in a sea of beautiful dark faces all dressed in their sunday best like you would do for church on easter sunday.

I dipped my feet into the ocean just to get a quick feel for it and that ... read more
