Tragedy in the Caribbean

Back in August I went on a trip to the Cayman Islands. I have waited quite a while to post the pics due to the horrific damage caused by Hurricane Ivan not 2 weeks after we left.

The pictures posted are beautiful, and display a joy and happiness I had not ever experienced which I do not want to distract from the sadness and suffering that those trapped on the island have experienced after we left. There are many examples of horror stories that those on the island experienced, and I want to make sure that although this is a strong reminder of the beauty that once existed there, there is still basic infrastructure lacking months after the hurricane and the damage has been horrific.

Please do what you can to help those in need and to help bring this paradise back to where it was. There are many charities and organizations trying to help all the poeple of the Caribbean who suffered, please do what you can as well.
