Have you ever noticed that history cycles, at least for some places.

We lived in New Mexico in the late 1990s, when it was the poorest state in the union.

But there were times in the past - when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the Pueblo Indians built their cities, pioneers traveled the Santa Fe Trail and Butch Cassidy and the Hole in the Wall Gang lived in the area. And all of that is part of New Mexico's ast and glory. 

Grand Turk seemed a like one of those places that was waiting for it's "next turn". 


It is one of the places that claims a visit from Christopher Columbus on this way to discover America. And, it has a rich seafaring history that dates back to pirate days and various nations efforts to secure holdings in the Caribbean.


When we were there, a lot of the buildings and structures had clearly seen better days in the past ..... and hopefully would again in the future.
