How Many Liters In A Kilometer
| This entry is part of the week we spent volunteering at La Tortuga Feliz (a turtle conservation project), near Bataan, Costa Rica. |
Patrolled the beach last night with Neil and our guide Carlos last night from 10:00PM-2:00AM. Saw turtle tracks up the beach and back to the ocean, but no eggs and no turtle. Last night was the clearest I have ever seen the constellation Orion. I could see the whole thing clearly including Orion’s head, which I don’t have any memory of actually having seen. Absolutely amazing!
Had a great conversation with Neil. Came up with good/funny things to put on T-Shirts.
-How many liters in a kilometer?
-My butt is wet.
-They need and they deserve and I have so I give.
Before going out patrolling with Neil last night, I slept in a hammock for 2 hours.
Discovered today, with bite marks all over my back, that the hammocks must be infested with some kind of bugs.
More raking of leaves today.
That’s not a big deal in Colorado where the leaves fall once a year and are small to medium sized.
Here, the leaves are huge and fall every day.

I wish Neil would shut up so I could get some sleep. He’s out at the main table and I’m in my cabin (about 30 yards away) , but even with ear plugs in, I can still hear him. Pipe down!
| This entry is part of the week we spent volunteering at La Tortuga Feliz (a turtle conservation project), near Bataan, Costa Rica. La Tortuga Feliz is an ecovolunteering program where the money paid by volunteers provides an experience with protecting turtles from poaching and taking part in new turtle life (hatching new turtles, measuring them, and releasing them into the ocean). Income from volunteers (which is minimal, considering what it goes to take care of) supports a community which has depended on turtles as a way of life for hundreds of years. This wouldn’t be a problem (eating and selling turtle meat and eggs), except that the species of turtles which are being poached are all on the brink of extinction. We spent 7 days at La Tortuga Feliz and have shared our experience here (in case you’d perhaps like to volunteer, and/or) in case you’re researching things you might want to know before going to La Tortuga Feliz. This journal was written on paper and later transferred to typed text to post on the site. If you want to see all of our pictures (over 300 from La Tortuga Feliz), visit our pictures page. |
