WE'RE STAYING
Low scrub, dry tropical forest on Middle Caicos.
18th or 19th century kitchen chimney, Grand Turk. The attached
house is still occupied.
Middle Caicos Airport--all two rooms of it, but they are adding on...
The pristine and tourist-free beaches of Middle Caicos.
The cafe veranda at Osprey Beach Hotel, Grand Turk, where we'll be
having dinner each night we're on the island.
Brian Riggs enjoying the sunset from the Osprey Beach veranda.
Note the absence of the so-called "Green Flash", which is seen less
frequently than
UFOs, Sasquatch,
the Yeti, the Loch
Ness Monster, and the Chupacabra
combined.
Mr. X (yes, that's his real name) live at the Osprey bar.
Grand Turk waterfront. The deep blue line near the horizon is
the shelf
where the water drops off to 3000 meters. The shelf is about
500 meters from shore.
Taino Duho, Turks and Caicos National Museum
Taino cemi, which was recovered from one of the sites we'll be examining
on Cotton Cay.
The famous Turks Head Cactus, namesake of the Turks islands.
The first Europeans there thought the red node on the top resembled
the red fez hats worn by the men of Turkey, hence, the "Turks'" islands.
Another great sunset, viewed from the Manta House, Grand Turk.
