2014 Turtle Release
Ryan and I recently had the opportunity to get away for a few days to attend a conference. Here we are below, working very hard! We stayed at the Moon Palace. While there, we participated in a turtle release program. We had to wait until after the sun set, as the turtles hatchlings typically make their way to sea in the cover of darkness. Here we are below, beyond excited as we wait for the experience. Well, let me take that back. I’m the one beyond excited, as turtles are one… Read More

Treasures of Xcaret – Photo Blog
We wanted to do something really special for Ryan’s 13th birthday. When subtly trying to uncover what he most wanted to do, we were surprised to discover that he wanted nothing more than to float deep down in an underground river! For whatever reason, this was the experience he was longing for. At about the same time, our Spanish teacher surprised us with six free passes to Xcaret, since her husband works there. We couldn’t believe the timing! And so we surprised Ryan by spending the whole day here. While there are… Read More
Inflatable Iguanas and More
Iguanas are big lizards and I see them all the time because I am in Mexico. Some live in tropical forests, some in deserts, etc… The green iguana is one that some people keep as a pet but they usually die in the first year of when they become a pet. They don’t normally get to live the way they do in wild life. I also do not know why, but other iguanas such as the Blue Iguana and others are endangered. Iguanas also maintain their sharp teeth and usually their own… Read More

Day 2: Danny’s Ants
Day 2: Danny: There were really big red ants at the restaurant we ate at for breakfast. This is how big they were (see photo). They were carrying leaves at least twice as big as they were. The ants looked like big spiders but only had six legs. For brunch, we had Empanadas. They were pastries stuffed with turkey ham, peppers, cheese, and tomatoes. I’m not sure if I liked them, but everyone else did!
