Turks and Caicos Conch Farm

We needed a break from the sun, sand and surf, so we spent the morning at a Conch Farm. Until this week, I had no idea that an animal actually lives in the conch shell and that it makes for a great meal. After today's tour of the farm, we know more than anyone ever needs to know about the sea snail. However, we couldn't leave the island without a conch shell. We took the rental car down another gravel road to Pelican Bay where we were told we could find conch shells washed up on the beach. 

Sure enough. There were two; this just so happens to be the number allowed through customs. After a thorough wash, we are hoping to find the shells to be animal free.
