I'm a Wimp

Remember how I said it's so hot and humid in Parismina? Well it's so hot that it's making me feel sick, and I'm not able to sleep. So I'm going to be a wimp and go back to San Jose tomorrow morning. I've enjoyed the little time I've spent here, but I think I'll be better able to enjoy myself in a city that I'm am actually physically comfortable in.
At least I got to see a turtle. That's right, I saw a turtle. On my first shift which was midnight to four in the morning tuesday night, we saw a green turtle laying her eggs. It was really kind of beautiful. We were about 45 minutes into our walk, and we saw turtle tracks, I was really confused at first, because our guides only spoke spanish. I noticed though when we approached a turtle. She was about a third of the way through laying her eggs when we found her, so we sat and waited for her to be done. It took about a hour for the whole proccess. When she was done laying her eggs, She started to dig, and dig, and dig, and dig. Seriously, most of the proccess was digging. We were sitting behind the turtle, but when she started throwing sand we had to move for fear of getting hit in the eye. She was really strong and was throwing sand like 5 feet behind her. So she dug for about 45 minutes while slowly mobbing forward, so by the time she started back to the ocean, there was still a big whole where she had been, but almost a mountain of sand where the eggs were. We marked their locatino with a stick when she started covering them so we would be able to find them easily. When she started for the water, she moved surprisingly quickly. I had to courage to run up and touch her shell once before she reached the water. Then we watched our guides dig up the eggs she had just laid and put them in a grocery bag. When we got back to the hatchery, we waited while they buried the eggs in a protected area.
So that was the biggest adventure of this trip. Tomorrow I'm escaping to the relative coolness of San Jose where I have yet to plan what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll see if there are any volunteer opportunities in the city that appeal to me. If not, I can just travel around and be a tourist for the two weeks until I go home.
