The only exception being that it was turtle season. Every year around this time, leatherback turtles come to Levera Beach (a pretty secluded beach on the northern tip of the island, where the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet) to lay their eggs. It was an incredible sight under the light of the full moon, being able to walk right up to these huge creatures and kneel down beside them while they dig a hole to lay over 100 eggs. Nothing like the zoo. :)

Fish Friday & Turtle Watching
It was just your average Friday and we went up to Gouyave for some fish, BBQ, and good company.
