On Saturday it was back to the beach to catch turtles. After casting the nets we waited patiently on the beach. It was about an hour before we found the first turtle. After taking measurements, checking tags, and taking pictures we hung out under a tree on the beach. This particular beach had three small dogs that kept us company. We even named the smallest one Nugget. He was so handsome. While we were hanging out the others went to look for sloths along the beach. When they returned they looked up into the tree where we were all under and saw a sloth and her baby. They were over us the whole time. It was so cool to see them in their natural habitat. The baby was the cutest little furball. Peeking over mama to get a good look at us. I have some great pictures of the two of them.

After that excitement, a while later we spotted a humpback whale close to shore. It’s hard to describe the feeling you get watching these magnificent creatures. It was unforgettable. As I was taking pictures and video of the whales. Someone spotted an eel and ankle-deep water. I’m not sure what kind of eel it was but it was beautiful and curious about us as we were of it.

My it was so amazing to see these animals in nature. Not like at the zoo. This was the real deal and I will never forget these moments. I will cherish them forever and hope to return one day.
