Impressions of the Turks and Caicos

 

We spent a day on Grace Bay here on Provo.  When I saw this impromptu gathering of island scarecrows 
I was smitten. Everyone has a creative side. 

Why is it that sights you could see almost anywhere seem more interesting while
 you are traveling? Our eyes are wide open. 

 

These bikes on Salt Cay in shades turquoise seemed so Caribbean. 

 

Had a very nice dinner at CoCo Bistro. The setting was stunning! Set in a palm grove with all the trunks 
circled in tube lights. The bright orange red of the buildings and surrounding structures 
was perfect with accents in white. 

 

Did a day trip by ferry to the North & Middle Caicos islands. Some gorgeous views but mostly vegitation you can't see through. Glad we went but wouldn't recommend the effort. This spot, Mudjin Beach, was the high light. 


 


As always, a sucker for rust & texture. 

 

For my calligraphy pals, I found some on our dessert last night. We have been eat in & pack lunches a fair amount here but have done some splurges. There was nothing left of this when we got done with it, so glad I took a picture. 

In 2 days we fly back to Michigan, which has had a dose of warm sunny Spring like weather while we were gone. That 's OK, we like the weather & the water here.

Travel to Warm Weather & Sun

 

We are on the island of Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos. Our airbnb is wonderful! 

When you live in Northern Michigan it seems imperative to get out of Dodge to recharge your solar batteries. It can be so grey and dark foe what seems like forever in winter. My husband & I love the Caribbean. Our main activity is snorkeling. We have found a great spot in Providenciales. 

 

The view of the ocean from the patio at our lodging. 

 

We went to a local weekly food & art gathering Thursday. Caribbeans love fried food. We overinduldged in conk & lobster fritters and fried plantains. 

Hump back whales migrate through here this time of year in the thousands. We are doing a boat trip in a few days in the hopes of getting up close & personal with them. Marine biologists will be on hand. 

More TCI impressions to follow.
