Crawl counts went super quick
this morning because no turtles came out due to all the beach activity last night. Later
on my walk, I ended up buying a nest from Bedal, the parlamero I always run
into. After breakfast we made our way to Monterrico to get away from all
of the tourists. We stopped first at a pupaseria and had pupusas con queso.
They were SO good! I love pupusas. Then, I made my way over to my favorite
bakery for some cheesecake and cookies. Today was definitely a day of
indulgence after such a horrible night. I did some grocery shopping, and then we
all took the bus to Hawaii to catch the last part of the football playa
tournament. It is interesting because the field is super short and you only
play with four people per team on the field at a time. While I was there, I got
another lime granizada. This time I made it clear that I didn’t want chicken
flavoring on it!
When we got back to the parque,
I made chocobananas and chocostrawberries. I used melting chocolate, and then
dipped the fruit in it. I also ate a tamale for lunch that I bought from a
local family. It was a great lunch. Later, Riikka and I did about 4 nest
excavations and we found 2 live hatchlings, which we released. We also had an
early nest of 54 hatchlings come up right at sunset. It was beautiful to see
them crawl to the ocean with a gorgeous sunset in the background. It was one of
those moments when you stop and can’t believe how beautiful life can be.
Melting the chocolate
The finished product!
