Finding <strong>the</strong> Salt <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Earth<br />
Discovering <strong>the</strong> “Old Caribbean” on Salt Cay<br />
Providenciales is an amazing island. It has truly become one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> top vacation destinations for <strong>the</strong><br />
Americas and <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world. With its world-class beaches, restaurants and o<strong>the</strong>r amenities, it<br />
has everything one could desire in a beach location. But <strong>the</strong> Turks & Caicos <strong>Islands</strong> are much more than<br />
“Provo.” Many want to experience <strong>the</strong> “old” Caribbean, which is very hard to find on Providenciales but<br />
<strong>the</strong> very essence <strong>of</strong> Salt Cay (www.saltcay.org).<br />
