I'll willingly admit that my long lasting love for turtles started and ended with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and that was primarily because they ate a lot of pizza and colour coordinated themselves extremely well.
But generally speaking - any sort of animal shelter will sort of make me want to adopt every single little creature in there and give them all individual names, collars and food bowls. Giant baby turtles were no exception. Although I'm yet to figure out how to put collars on turtles, I'm sure I will find a way.
On a particularly cloudy day on Isla Mujeres, we decided it was the best day to spend in the turtle sanctuary that all the kids, aged 7, 9 and 28 had been going on about.
We packed all 4 adults (well, physically at least....) and 2 kids into the rented golf car that I was not allowed to drive and went off towards the other side of the island.
About me not being allowed to drive - why do everyone have this crazy impression of me not being an excellent driver? I have only crashed one car, once, and it really wasn't my fault. They really shouldn't put a mirror by the driver's seat if you're not even allowed to put your make up on.
Anyway, I guess that's not the point (although I still maintain my lack of driving skills is a misconception).
The point is, turtles are awesome. They carry their house around, they take things in their own, slow pace without letting anyone rush them and their little heads are really very cute sticking out looking all confused and newly awake. Yes, that's what their faces looks like.
So now the question is, where do I house the 30+ turtle babies I have decided to adopt?
