First Turtles!!!

Me and Cass FINALLY saw our first turtles come on the beach and nest. It was funny cuz it was when our spirits were lowest...we were on a patrol cracking jokes about never seeing a turtle and then...low and behold a turtle made its way on the beach and built a nest...and when we were finishing that one another turtle came up so two in one night. Since they were on a very busy beach at montezuma..we relocated the eggs to the beach outside our project called playa grande or playa cocoa... much less traffic so they will be safer. There was another turtle that night on the beach by our place and last night there were 3 more. We only saw the two that came up a few days ago. It was really cool though. Since then we´ve done some more training on turtles and how to find a nest, dig it out, relocate it and triangulate its position. We also are still working on the hatchery. We filled sand bags today.
Last night was really cool cuz there was the most ridiculous thunder storm i´ve ever seen. it was around 2 hours long probably and it wasn´t like a normal storm where there are big breaks between strikes. it was 2 solid hours of lightning strikes lighting up the dark cloudy sky barely ever more than one or two seconds apart. we walked to the beach and saw it from there and saw a few strike the ocean in the distanc.e.. probably one of the coolest things i have ever seen. also yesterday we did an hour hike on the beach to get to a cute little waterfall and swim in a river that looked so cool...it was oulet into the ocean but it looked straight up jungle and i hope there werent crocs in it haha.
Thats basically all for now. its just been really cool here cuz there aren´t too many people but all the people are fun and nice. We lost a bet against the two staff from costa rica that USA would beat mexico so we owe them drinks. it was pretty funny. Oh and there is this one guy and his daughter. it kills me listening to him. he is the human almanac or something. He knows random trivia about EVERYTHING and you feel like you´re watching the discovery channel if you bring up something simple and he gives this way long detailed explanation sounding very professional, enthusiastic and thorough. I wish you could here him it cracks me up...24 hours a day too. Anyways thats all for now..have to go help them carry back groceries from the store. Having a good time tho but also excited for when we get to do traveling
