population increase

Two cruise ships, the MS Astor with 620 passengers and 278 crew and the MS Cloud with 296 passengers and 185 crew sailed in to the harbour yesterday.  They got to enjoy the town and the nice weather we had.  It was a good day for their visit.

  13. I hope the tourists don't make it hard for you to go about your daily routines. I know when they are in my small town it can be hard sometimes.

  16. So many tourists! I'd be inclined to run for the hills, though I probably exaggerate. We get a lot of summer visitors and many more than that for our Lavender Festival in July.

  18. Wow, that's a lot for a town to take in. When we go to Grand Cayman occasionally, they publish the cruise ship schedule with anticipated numbers so that locals know if they should avoid the popular spots that day!
