Flying over Fort Lauderdale enroute to Atlanta. FLL was where I used to fly out for work from before we switched to DFW and then finally ATL. First time I came out in the open air in the USA was right there below. About 30 years back.

We were airborne and did a three quarter of a full circle turn banking to the south and then straightened out north wards. As we flattened out, we could see West Caicos. Even thru the airplane window, the picture came out well. The island is mostly empty but I understand it is being built out as a high end resort place.

The lake inside (Lake Catherine) has the same sky blue water. And the reason is that it is connected to the ocean thru underground inlets. (Even the tides come in and out! )

In the island of Providenciales, every Thursday, they have something called Thursday Fish Fry. It is very popular. As you can see, we parked our cars ON the sidewalk. There was live music going on – a lot of dancing. Many food stalls, many more cocktail and beer bars. A lot of local wares being sold.

And there was that one solo stall that was selling fish fry!!

But a great sense of camaraderie can be had with other tourists and locals at this event!
