Expats on the island

It's been a week now since I got here. Can't wait for the next weekend to come along. 

Weather was a bit strange yesterday on the Island. Never by this time of the year it would rain, not even have this breeze that keeps the temperature cool, but yet nice. 

Yesterday night, while I was chilling out, I met this woman. She used to travel a lot. She is from Canada, but came here in the 80's with her husband, living here for a couple of years, maybe more, can't remember. She said that at this period, people on the island wasn't ready to integrate the white people _the expat' as we say_ into their society. It was considered like a menace for the well being and unity of the island. So they left the island, with the feeling that Provo people hate them. 

So then, they travelled around Europe for a short period of time, lived for 5 years in Melbourne _she loved it!_, came back to Canada where they bought a house there. But their heart was still in Turks and Caicos. They came back on the island in 1996, and they could notice the big change. A large amount of different nationalities were now living on the Island, most of them running businesses. Provo people could talk with these new incomers, they accepted them as part of the island, and knew it was good for the Island, its economy and touristic development. 

That is how this woman and her husband came back 13 years ago, and still live here now. You could feel the joy she feels of living here. 

Take care people, and here is a bunch of pictures I took 2 days ago, during an "exploring day".
