I did a similar project too!
Hello, I came across your blogs while at work just browsing...anyway, those baby turtles are so cute! this past march I did a similar project, only flew into San Jose and drove down to san San Ponds, Panama to do sea turtle conservation. I loved it! Only I was there in march which was still too early in the season so i didnt see any baby turtles! but I did see large leatherbacks at night and got to see the eggs and rebury them in the hatchery we had built. I wish I could have stayed longer so I could see them hatch....anyway, great pics, what a great trip!
