Dear All Greetings from Santo Antao, the second largest of the Cape Verde islands, and my third out of the four which I have planned to explore.

Turtles and Whales

Spiritual
Indeed, I have to agree with you on the spiritual experience. I have never seen turtle on a beach like that, there is something very special about it. It must have been wonderful to also see the egg laying and hatching. Hawaii must be a wonderful place to live :)
