Last night!

So yesterday Greta, the manager of my project, came up to Mayto for a bbq and brought along with her all the food I could every want and more. She also brought 2 volunteers, Jo and Georgia, who are with Outreach but are working in orphanages in PV. We had a great time and ate until are stomachs were hanging over are pants. Last night I was on patrol and since Jo and Georgia had never seen sea turtles before, Jorge said they could come along, so we all hopped into the quad bike and went on our way. It was magical! We got to see this turtle come out of the ocean, dig her nest, and then start laying her eggs. We all took turns taking photos and catching the eggs. When she was done we watched her go back to sea. THEN THE SKY OPENED UP! It was pouring and we were soaked to the bone (mind you this is the first time I have forgotten my rain slicker and the only time it has poured on me during quad bike patrol). We went on for a bit longer and got another nest, but then the lightening startied striking around us and Jorge thought it would be better if we returned back to camp bc Jo and Georgia were soaked through. All-in-all a great/interesting experience!
I tried to upload a video but it didn´t work so I´ll try again later!
