Isn't this amazing? We took our flashlights down to the beach tonight just hoping to spot some turtle tracks in the sand that would lead us to a mother turtle burying her eggs.....and sure enough, we were able to witness this beautiful creature doing just that. It was just incredible.'This is nesting season for them and then in a couple months the babies will hatch and maybe we will get to see that event as well, as the babies make their way to the beach.
This MONSTER lives in the church yard and usually stays up in the trees but he made a showing sunday after everyone had left except us and the missionaries. They turned into 2 little boys and were running around chasing him and finally caught him by the tail! You can't see the whole tail here but all in all he is at least 5 feet long! Amazing!!
This little guy we rescued from the middle of the road on the way to church. Lora is in heaven now that she has a pet. She said, "I love Costa Rica, cuz you can get pets for FREE!"He lives in our garage now and his name is Ellsworth.
And last but not least, this tiny fella was in the shower with me tonight. He lost his tail in a tragic accident when the shampoo bottle fell on it! This is the smallest gecko we have seen yet.I feel like I am living in the middle of a zoo here in CR. Pretty awesome to have all of these creatures around us. I know my little nephew Connor would just be in heaven!
