Provo is Nice, Too


Grace Bay in Providenciales is a beautiful stretch of beach; white, smooth sand with "gin clear" warm water. I choose our place, Coral Gardens, because it is right in front of Bight's Reef, one of the two great snorkeling sites right on the Bay. We walk out our door and start floating. Right away we see fish, including schools of big and colorful Parrot fish. As we snorkel out further and the water gets deeper, the full glory of the reef is revealed, full of all kinds of coral and fish, all so amazing to watch. It's way cool and much more than I had expected.


The staff here is very nice. Jerome gets you beach chairs and makes sure you are comfortable under the thatched umbrellas.

Malcolm got Paul and me coconuts and told us how to sip the juice (water? milk? I'm not sure) straight from the shell. There's a good restaurant, which is very convenient, and we rented a car so we can go wherever we want.


After a false start with our assigned room, we moved to a large condo with a lovely view of the bay.

Yes, we like it here just fine!
