WEEKEND #6

Tourists go to Tortuguero to see turtles (the name is after all a Spanish version of turtle), and we hoped to see at least one of the leatherback turtles that nest this time of year. We did a night walk on the beach looking for signs but saw none while we were there. Being on the beach at night was interesting anyway and the star gazing was fabulous. During the day, we found the beach to be a pretty fun place to play in the waves and learn about the undertow. The water was cool enough to feel refreshing but nothing to prepare us for the upcoming first dip in Green Lake—if the ice ever goes off it : )
