We're back from a long, relaxing stay in the Turks and Caicos where we checked out a few hotels, sampled the native conch (a bit dense and chewy...best version we had was a conch ceviche at the Amanyara) and worked on our tans with the help of some old-school, Hawaiian Tropic SPF 4 lotion (I know, I know, it's bad). This photo is one of my favorites from the trip. It is a shot of a quiet stretch of Grace Bay beach. There are no umbrellas in the sand, no noisy jet skis and no hawkers on the beach. Pure heaven!
