Cayman Brac; Wed/Thur, Dec 1st.  After Constance's work we headed off to explore the north end.  Stopped to watch the waves and found the island bakery.  Got a pack of local cookies, more like a dark spongecake, good for dipping in morning coffee I bet.  Got a cinnamon bun too, not vegan.  Walked a short path to the beach at the end of the road, checking out a few hermit crabs along the way. The cliffs are really something, going straight up 150 ft in places.



 Off to the lighthouse via the cross-island road.  It's a long drive as we are going slow.  No views except for the 15 ft tall growth, but lined with bright yellow flowers.  We explore a few "real estate" developments, power poles in place and a few paved loops but not much building.  Also healthy looking cows along the way.  The light house is really just a steel tower, with hiking path heading around the north east along the top of the cliffs.  We'll hike them another day.  Looking south east from light it's amazing how much variety of plant life there is.  Heading home to watch the sunset, but it's a bust as lots of clouds have moved over Little Cayman to our west.  Have a tasty tomato based veggie soup that Mojito put together.  My constitution has normalized from all the marginal eating in Europe.
We Karaoke at the Brac Resort, reminding me of our time on St. Thomas at Sapphire Beach, pretty much the same song choices that "Debbie does Karaoke" had.  A few good singers, one who did some yodeling, a first!
