My main wish this weekend was that I’d catch a glimpse of a giant sea turtle. I’ve been walking every morning and night on the beach for miles just in case I’d get the lucky chance to come across one. And, surprisingly, my wish came true. Late last night on a whim I ditched my computer to head to the moonlit waves. It was dark and I didn’t notice the 4-5 foot dark figure crawling across my path until I was right next to it. The turtle had made distinct tracks in the sand leading up to its egg-nest, and it was already heading into the ocean. Up about ten feet further in the sand, another turtle was coming down the beach too. I was so excited that I did a little dance in the sand and probably scared them a little bit. It’s rare to see two at once, so close together. Lucky me! I got to watch them walk across the sand, get pulled out by the crashing waves, and then slip beneath the surface. Apparently turtles lay around 100 eggs per nest and of those 100, only about 5 survive. What a cool feat of nature I got to witness!
