Vacation: still in Mexico

Alright, so, y'know what, I'm still in Mexico, obviously, and I'm still listening to the Ocean Waves, and I'm still thinking I'm better off than you are there in Canada. As of right now.
Yesterday, my dad and I were walking along the beach, just for a morning stroll, around 9:30am, and we see a baby turtle making his way to the ocean, I look up farther along the sand hill and see about four more baby turtles making their way to the ocean. I pick up those turtles and help them to the oceans shoreline (as they do in the turtle sanctuaries) and let them go just before the ocean's shoreline to take them away (before the birds have a chance to scoop them up and eat them). My father walks up further up the hill (forgive my i'm a little drunk telling this story) but he walked up farther up the hill and found the nest. he helped to dig the baby turtles out of their nest and gathered them into his straw hat to bring them to the shoreline where I got to release them and then gathered another whole bunch, all together there were about 74-84 baby turtles that we released into the ocean which felt really good; because if we hadn't have helped these small animals to their natural habitat, many of them would have been eaten by birds and died before making it to the big blue. it felt really good knowing that we'd helped an entire famlily make it to the ocean than just the select few thatt would have made it on their own. in fact where we found these small creatures, used to be where the university used to have a reserve for turtles to let them nest, plant and let the babies go, however they lost all of their funding and it has become just part of the beach again where turtles still come to lay their eggs because turtles are very teritorial and they lay their eggs where theywere born. it was really neat to be there at just the right time to help the babies get to where they needed to be. they were ever so cute, and ever so gentle. because of this trip, I Again Love Turtles.
