Scott,
turtle expert of Guatemala, took Glenda and I out in the morning for our crawl
counts and gave us a proper training. The whole process made so much more sense
after he explained everything. In addition, he came to look at our hatchery and
told us that the sand had to be leveled out more in order to make sure that the
temperature is uniform for all of the nests. After eating a quick breakfast,
Emma and Sebastian (two volunteers from Europe) helped me level out the sand.
All of the German girls decided they wanted to paint trees instead of help us
in the hatchery. I wish they would have helped us, but we can't make them do anything they don't want to do.
One of
the other volunteers informed us at lunch that three of the German girls were
leaving this evening. Even
though we are in desperate need of volunteers, we do not need volunteers who
refuse to do work and cause problems for the rest of the parque. Glenda even
was getting upset with them. They left their dirty dishes all over the kitchen
and dining table as well as made a mess all throughout the parque. In
retaliation, she posted signs in broken English everywhere. I found it
hilarious!

We
ended up finishing all the leveling in one day! It was nice to see the hatchery
look all nice and pretty. One of the
German girls actually came and helped us in the end, which was nice. I respect
her a lot more now. Later on in the evening, I found out that the other four
girls are probably leaving on Thursday.
