Beautiful by Nature

A couple of years ago, my step moms son and his family went on a vacation to Turks and Caicos. Before then I had never even heard of this place. When they came back from their trip, they told us all about the trip and then showed us pictures. The beaches consisted of white sand and blue waters so clear that you could see your feet submerged in the depths of the ocean. Once I heard of their adventures I was extremely jealous. I have wanted to go ever since. Turks and Caicos are both islands, Caicos being the larger island, lies in the North Atlantic Ocean. One of the countries popular sports is sailing. This is something I have never done before and I think it would be good to try something new. Over 618,000 visitors come from mostly the United States and Canada to visit the beautiful islands. The government has created a new cruise ship port to increase the amount of tourism. They also have recently created the Turks and Caicos Music and Cultural Festival. This is during the seasons of low tourism and is a festival of many concerts that lasts a week and performers consist of international recording artists such as Alicia Keys, John Legend and Ludacris. I think it would be very fun to attend the music festival because who doesn't love a party on the beach. Another common sport on the islands is cricket. I think it would be interesting to watch a game because I am a big baseball fan and cricket is similar to baseball so I think it would be interesting to learn how the game is played. Another big thing to do on the islands is scuba diving. There are many different options and companies that will take you diving. This is something I would like to try because I have always had an interest in the marine ecosystem and the animals that live in it. The motto for the islands is "beautiful by nature" and the that's exactly what the islands are. The views are breath taking and I cant wait to visit there someday.
