Exploring Town

Day 2 on the island:

Today was the last day for students in Summer Session I. Jessee took the group this morning to Provo and she'll return this evening (which means two flights on the rickety island connector plane in one day). I stayed behind and went to the clinic to get a blood test for the visa, and then explored the town.

Some wild horses outside our back porch.

Blood work: Ouch!

The main road on South Caicos. They drive on the left, but the steering wheel is also on the left.

A ruined building left over from the salt industry, probably made worse in hurricane Ike.

The edge of town.

The public marina.

The Center, where we live.

The bay outside our place.


Day 1:

We joined the students on their last visit to Sandy Point on Long Cay (pronounced Long Key). It was low tide, so there wasn't as much swimming as there was wallowing. The water is so incredibly warm! I was thinking the whole time about my last chilly dip in Ross Lake.

The boat ride. Look at that water!

Sandy Point

"Bob," the iguana. I think he should be renamed Iggy. Or, if she's a she, Alana the Iguana.

Home again. We're always a bit sweaty here.
