Update!

So PV was lots of fun, but I don´t really have much time to talk about it in detail. Kerry and Andy were both able to get to the airport and on their respective flights ok, so they are off starting a new adventure as I type. Sam and I spent Sunday in PV shopping and eating, you know...the good things. When we got back from our weekend excursion, we were greeted by 40 loud high school students from Guadalajara. This was by far the worst group that has stayed at the camp while I´ve been here. They managed to rip both bathroom doors off the wall, turn the pool water green, steal/break the bathroom mirror, and (ny fav) smear poop all over the bathroom. After patrol one evening I had the pleasure of breaking up a makeout session taking place in the turtle nursery...how romantic. Needless to say clean-up was lots of fun. We have a group coming up this weekend and I pray that they are more well-behaved and less sex-crazed...doubtful.

Now that everybody is gone, Sam and I have managed to so a major clean-up and set up our tent just the way we like it. It´s amazing how much sand there was when 4 vols were sharing the tent. We miss them, but it´s nic eto spread out.

Sam and I have started doubling up on our turtle shifts so that we can get more action for the rest of our stay. It makes me so sad that I am leaving in just over a month. I am really going to miss Mayto, the camp, and the staff. We´ve managed to bring in a good haul of turtle eggs every patrol so that is nice. I am worried that we will be running out of room in the nursery soon. I guess they (and by that I mean we) might have to build that second one they have been talking about.

Two awesome experiences: First: I was able to witness the hatching of our black turtle nest. The black turtle is the most endangered turtle in this area. The babies are completely gorgeous (black on type and white on bottom) and very different from the pacific greens we dig up! I´ll post pics later. Second: After patrol yesterday morning, sam and I came back to one of the nests in the nursery already dug up with bird prints everywhere. We decided to check on the nests to make sure all the turtles were ok. 21 were missing, but I guess that´s life. The amazing thing is, Sam put one of the eggs to the side that she thought still might hatch and I totally got to witness a baby turtle hatching. One minute there was an egg, the next second there was a turtle...very cool indeed.

Love you guys and will post pics later!
