SEA TURTLES! my new favorite animal....


This one is tartaruginha, her husband, which will remain nameless , and child whose name is booski.

(this one's name is myrtle)


On Saturday a few of us drove down to a place called "Kiholo Bay" which is a beach front area here that mostly locals hang out at... not too many tourists :) Spent all day there, but the best part about it was that I got to see a TON of sea turtles. THEY ARE SO ADORABLE. Apparently they hang out mostly at places they know they wont be bothered.... I saw a few of them tanning in the sun ... it was great. The fine for touching a sea turlte is $25,000.. but I had to take a chance heheheh....they were too cute.

At any rate, the battery on my camera died before I could get better pics so a lot of these were taken with my camera phone... so you'll have to bear with crappy resolution. On a happier note, I was able to buy a new digital camera for really cheap, and my travelers insurance is going to reimburse me. (THANK YOU GOD)



That's David and Kat, both americans.... really good people.
