Turks and Caicos, Feb. 1, 2012

A clear blue sky today. All three of us walked the beach having intermittent swims in the turquoise waters of Grace Bay. Even in the ocean you see the green-blue hue and the incredible clarity that makes you think you are in a swimming pool. We walked as far as the Sibbonne Resort just short of The Sands where we dined the other night at Hemingway's Restaurant. In some ways walking from Turtle Cove to the other side of Grace Bay is like walking Kempenfelt Bay. In one direction you are blasted by the wind but when you make the curve you are given relief.


Ian met with a local lawyer for lunch today. At first he thought he had been stood up but he came home and checked his e-mail to find that C was on his way. Ian reports that they had a fine lunch at Baci and discussed law and Provo.
Rhona and I ate at the Green Bean (they have a Facebook page) which is across the street from Queen Angel. This is a fairly new restaurant in Turtle Cove and coffee lovers will be happy to know that they serve Starbucks. They also serve wraps, paninis, pizzas, salads and offer up daily specials. Good, fresh food.


Late in the afternoon we went to Magnolia for happy hour and each of us selected a different red to imbibe. Rhona was very impressed with the extent of the reef. While enjoying the view we noticed a lot of people were heading to The Tiki Hut (Tiki Hut) and it reminded us that Wednesday is chicken and rib combo night. So after the wine we headed to join the crowd. Unfortunately there was a wait for a table but fortunately we jumped the queue by sitting at the bar and ordering our meal for there. There were a few interesting characters at the bar and Rhona made up stories for most of them. The chicken was roasted perfectly in rosemary and the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tasty. The food, service and ambiance were great. Another wonderful day in Paradise!
