Turks and Caicos day 6
Another calm day – the wedding day!! Roamed around the beach and the island to take some more pictures today:
Rainy day
Rained almost all day yesterday so caught up on some reading – Over the Edge of the World – Magellan’s Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe by Laurence Bergreen – very well written apart from the obvious interest I have on the story itself.
In any case, here is a short video of the “young” crowd and Eva.
Sailing Day
Great day on the beach with quick regatta on small 12″ hobbies… kind of annoying to sail but the regattas was tons of fun… Rory won all of them, knowing the boat and the winds makes all the difference.
All ages were entertained 🙂

Turks and Caicos
Finally here! Went to the car rental place and met Elena, Tony, and Ricky. Our house is great and not too far from the Lyra’s house nor the Grinfeder’s house.
The place is beautiful and the water is spectacularly clear. Apparently is one of those few things on earth that you can see from Space – Nasa used it as a reference point for the first astronaut that orbited earth.
Eva is very cute walking around and interacting with all of the other children in the house.
Here are some pictures:

Cat Island
Woke up early and loaded the plane up for Turks and Caicos.
We followed the original plan of landing on Cat Island to refuel but faced some weather on the way to Turks so Philip decided to be safe than so we turned back.
That evening the weather cleared out and we found ourselves in a great deserted beach with a hotel and some private summer houses, and I was able to have some more fun with the camera:

Pompano day 2
Mom arrived yesterday from Sao Paulo then went straight to The Forge in North Miami Beach to have some steak at The Forge – Claudia joined us for that 🙂
Today went for a quick bike ride and took some pictures of the kite surfers and the beach. Nice and relaxing.
Here are the photos:

DC to Pomapano
Woke up at 6am to take Ricardo to the Metro station – he went back to NY taking my old Peugot mountain bike with him.
Then we went to the airport and loaded up Philip’s plane – a Trinidad – single engine – to go down to Pompano beach.
6 hours later we get to sunny Florida. We went through some spots where the smoke from the fires was so thick that we could not see much ahead, but all in all it was a calm flight. Great to observe and listen all the radio conversations and procedures you go through during a flight. Made me want to get a pilot’s license again… maybe next year – but a glider/sailplane license.

DC day 2
Beautiful city – so green, tons of birds and all the FREE museums! Today went to Capitol Hill, Freer Gallery, Holocaust Museum and the White House.
Quite disturbed by the Holocaust Museum but fantastic exhibit.
Union Station also is gorgeous. Posted some more pictures on the same album below…
Summer travel has begun
First stop – Washington DC – staying with Phillip – gorgeous house. Got here by train from NY and went straight to the Air and Space Museum – the most visited museum in the US!! Then went to see the “required” stops – Capitol Hill, White House, Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial and so on…
Here are some pictures:

Phillip has kindly decided to lend me his hard case for bikes so besides taking my old Peugeout back to NY I will use it to take my Specialized along with me on the Round the World trip I am doing this summer.
Stay tuned for more news!
