Cemetery - New entrance

Yes. I have been off line a lot... But as I said a couple of weeks ago, my friend Andrea would visit me and I was busy mainly ... talking!

Yes. That is what happened when friends meet after a few months without having a real conversation...

Of course, she loved the island and had a great time and I will tell you more about her visit in other entries of this blog, but I have to start by talking about this particular evening that we went for our daily walk.

I usually chose different routes so she had the chance of knowing other parts of our small island and one particular evening we took the road that runs in front of Salt Cafe, Doo Doo's, etc. and when I was showing Andrea Grand Turk Cemetery I realized that as the gates had a chain and a padlock ... someone decided to build a ladder (actually two...) on the external side of the wall so it is possible to enter the cemetery without ... climbing the wall??? :)

Maybe I am wrong and this was a legal and formal decission but I am guessing that is more an spontaneus solution... Who knows...

Another Argentinian on the island... for a few days

I know.. I know... After the Lion fish hunt stuff I did not write anything but I have been preparing a couple of things in my house because for the first time a friend from Argentina is coming to the island to visit me :). Her name is Andrea.

I am really happy! and she is so excited about it that she is driving crazy everyone around her at home and at work ... LOL

We used to work together (in my previous life as a project manager) for a few years in Argentina, Peru and Honduras and we have done lot of travelling together too to Roatan, Miami, and other places.

However she has never tried a diving experience yet and she is willing to start here so she is going to do her DSD.

Her husband gave her the ticket to Grand Turk as a birthday present (yes, guys, sorry! she is married :) so she is taking a few days off from work and from the Argentinian winter, currently with the temperature around 0°C to come and enjoy our beautiful waters and the sunny hot days.

So, once she arrives we will do our first "tango encounter" somewhere (I will let you know in advance...) and I plan to take her to some place where we can have the chance of dancing some merengue and salsa... Yes, I was told by some Dominican girls that it is possible to dance merengue and salsa so I will not stop until I find those places...

So, another Argentinian (also from Buenos Aires) will be in Grand Turk for 10 days, she is also crazy about football (soccer), Boca Juniors fan, NOT a vegetarian, loves to dance and ... (this is for Jesse...) she will bring some sweet excellent stuff to eat during the surface intervals... ;)

It's going to be very good to remember those days when we used to stay on the beach of Roatan, enjoying the beautiful weather and the warm waters and I dreamt about living on a Caribbean island where I would see the turquoise sea and dive every day without thinking about software projects and office hours, without even imagining that there was already a small beautiful island called Grand Turk waiting for me ;)
