The most unique thing we were a part of was the releasing of the baby sea turtles into the ocean.
Just out in front of the hotel 78 sea turtles hatched out of their eggs Friday morning. The hotel workers gather them up before the seagulls and pelicans swoop down to devour them and put them in a plastic tub with wet sand and hold them until 9:00 at night when the birds are asleep.
They gathered us in a line at the waters edge and gave us all a little sea turtle and on a signal we all let them go into the ocean. It was so great! I can't imagine anything like that happening in the U.S. The environmentalists would have a fit!
Here is the yellow tub with about half the sea turtles still being given out.
