diving

james looooooves diving, and even more here in Turks and Caicos, as the temperature is perfect and the water is so clean and clear.

he likes going with provo turtle divers, they are at turtle cove marina and have a really friendly team.

ps – if you were wondering why i don’t dive…the 2nd picture is self explanatory…

gansevoort / providenciales

last night, after moving all our stuff to our new apartment, we were craving a cold shower and a nice dinner out. our favourite place, caicos cafe, is closed on mondays, so we ended up going to bagatelle, at the gansevoort hotel.

the atmosphere is really nice, it has a different feel from other hotels in the island and the lounge background music is just perfect.

i had a delicious risotto and J had the filet mignon with peppercorn sauce…we made the right choice.

i’m sure we will be back to try heir hamburger at the beach lounge!

flooding

it was raining almost all weekend. yes, it rains in the caribbean…it’s not that bad, as it doesn’t happen often, and we don’t get to use umbrellas, raincoats or even wellies!it did get quite flooded and hard to drive on some roads!

when it was over, J and I took a walk by the beach, and it felt so good to breath fresh air,  listen to the waves and walk on the sand barefoot!

happy national heroes day, it’s a holiday for us today in turks & caicos!

movin’

enough of SoCal and back to the reality of T&C. I’ve been a busy bee searching for a temp place to stay. unfortunately, after three amazing months at the mansions (…i can’t believe it’s been so long!), and because the furniture of our house is not here yet, we had to look for somewhere else to stay during the next month.

staying at the mansions couldn’t have been better, right on the beach, with so much light and so close to all the restaurants and hotels in grace bay beach.

we will miss our days in our first home in T&C…
