Sea Turtles

Yesterday at sunset, we had the amazing opportunity to help release newly-hatched baby sea turtles into the ocean. We formed a straight line on the beach and were each handed a turtle--they were very strong and squirmy!

We put them on the sand and watched them make their way to the ocean. Some were very fast and made a beeline for the water, while others took a little more time.

Afterwards, we watched a gorgeous sunset over the Pacific. More pictures in the online album.

Later that night, Madri got a phone call that a turtle was laying eggs near our hotel, and some of the team went to watch--it was another incredible experience!
