oh my, this was a busy weekend. we had a really nice dinner with friends – HERE – we all love this place and agreed we wouldn’t survive on island without it! it was funny because we realized half of us on our table were portuguese :) it is nice to feel a little closer to home.

then, on saturday, i went to lemon’s summer party, and i tell you, they really know how to through a party, everyone was there and it was lot’s of fun. if you’re on island visiting, make sure you check out lemon’s facebook page for any parties.

i’m now on my final countdown for my vacation, i leave in a week, so i’m working hard on the exercising and tanning – and online shopping too!

i hope you have a great week ahead!

i always love seeing turks and caicos through other peoples’ eyes, i love it when we have friends over and they get excited with views i might take for granted. perhaps there is a lot that i am missing.

my jaw dropped when i found bea’s blog, la tartine gourmand. i almost can’t believe her pictures of our islands – is this  really where i live!?

check out her gorgeous pictures and head over here to read more on her family vacation in turks and caicos, their stay in long bay area and visit to north caicos government farm, plus a delicious eggplant recipe she made after visiting the farm!

i have a new addiction in provo – and it’s the cappuccino from lemon2go coffee.

i know you would think that living by the beach and in the heat of turks and caicos i would be addicted to rum punch or margaritas.

i seriously have to stop myself from stopping by for a cappuccino every day – the quality of the coffee is amazing (forty ninth parallel) and the cappuccino is perfectly prepared every-single-time.

they have other coffee options, like iced lattes and frapuccinos – check their facebook page for their daily inspiration.

the setting is gorgeous, they have, not only, the best cappuccino on island, but they also sell the most beautiful flowers. i love every time i come in, the shop is packed with flowers, candles and soaps, amongst other temptations – i want to buy them all!it’s my definitely my favorite coffee spot and oh so miss it when i’m off island!the shop is located on grace bay road, in front of salt mills, call them on 1 (649) 941-4487 or check their Facebook page and their website.

thanks to simone for graciously posing for the pictures :)

we had a quiet weekend – had plans to go out for dinner on friday but the weather was threatening rain. when it rains we never go out for dinner, it sounds like we are lazy, but it’s actually because there aren’t many restaurants with indoor seating!

and when we woke up on saturday we were out of power…island wide? yes, it is possible. out of power for the whole day, and finally got it back at nine in the evening, just in time to save all our food in the fridge. but we had a good day. with no power…no cooking, no light, no tv, no internet, no mails – it seems you have more time for yourself, to spend time with your thoughts, to tidy up, to talk and to read.

we went to the beach too, of course.

i do hope you had a great weekend and here’s to a good week ahead!
