turks & caicos #2

this is a pic of our house. we're up on a hill across the street at yet another fabulous restaurant. which leads us to this one of all. you'll notice that is is early in the eve as no refreshments have been served. ordered yes, rec'd not yet. as for the most festive shirt.....may have to wear it to the upcoming nuptials of our niece!

the water here is incredible. clear and perfect for snorkels. Candy saw a barracuda and made a bee-line to shore. Debbie, when all were ready to come in, shouted "last one in is a rotten egg" and promptly began swimming like a striped-ape. one problem, however, she was heading out to sea rather than to the beach. needless to indicate who was the rotten egg......

which quickly prompted this activity. nothing like some island rum punch to overcome that rotten egg thingy. just disappointed that no drink umbrellas were at hand.

and the result of that punch!

hard to decide which pics to include as many festive ones.

Bim and Tom are out for a snorkel currently in the midst of lightening and thunderstorm. swimming around like nothing's happening while the rest of us decided to have another beer, cocktail or whatever.

we've had wonderful meals, and Candy fixed some black bean and rice dish for lunch yesterday. delicious! we're off to the conch shack tonight. there's live music (not sure what variety), and I expect that we will take full advantage.

tomorrow is spa day. the spa is sending over 3 masseuses over for body wraps, head massages, feet massages, and Debbie, being the spa queen, is getting the full rotten-girl treatment. (imagine that?)

we're also, tomorrow night, having a chef here to fix up some delectables in the spaciousness of this house.

we'll have to return as have only scratched the surface on many of the things we haven't done. I know many will be amazed that we have all been very subdued with no arrests or visits by the local policia (but still 2 days to go nad there is that live music stuff.)

so with that I bid adieu
