Gandoca

Gandoca is a community focused on the conservation of sea turtles. There is a turtle conservation program that all community members support and event with which they collaborate. We got to experience something amazing--we saw the baby sea turtles coming out of their nest and being set free to the ocean. They were absolutely adorable and it was beautiful to see them finding their own way to the water. They're guided by the sounds of the water. 

In the morning, we woke up early and watched the sunrise as we took a little walk on the beach. Unfortunately, it was cloudy so the sun was hiding behind the clouds but we still got to appreciate some nice colors. The beaches on the caribbean side are very pretty. In Gandoca, the sand was completely black and very soft. I realized I like the caribbean side better than the pacific.
