REFLECTIONS
El SALVADOR IS A GREAT COUNTRY TO VISIT…
From this spontaneous trip, I learned how beautiful this country is - from the beaches to the volcanic mountain tops. It was such a pleasure to engage with the beautiful, friendly people here!
El Salvador reminds me of what Costa Rica was like before it became popular. It feels authentic.
RELEASING
La Tortuga Verde is also special in that it is a sea turtle sanctuary - in addition to turtles laying their eggs, 10,000 eggs are purchased every year and hatched in their protected hatchery where they are protected from dogs and locals who collect eggs to sell to restaurants. The hatchlings are then gathered and released on the beach in the evening away from lights where we can watch their supervised march to the ocean.
I feel a bit like these young turtles - I came here and found community and connection… a place to hatch myself for the next evolution. It is a pleasure to be surrounded with friends who release us to the next stage of our journey.
And off we go!
