Sea Turtles

Our second day in Salvador, we went out to a sea turtle sanctuary.  They're famous for their work with the sea turtles, but they also had some sharks, sting rays, and other fish in the mini-aquarium/display we visited.

It was so neat to see these!  They had life-size models of the different types of sea turtles, and they were huge!  The biggest can get up to like 6 feet long!  This guy was about 5:

 (Crush, anybody? :)

 Shawndeen, Tawnya, and I petting the sting rays.
Tawnya named the big black one Adolfo, and I named the two grayish-brown ones Flotsam and Jetsam :)

 SUPER cute baby turtles!  This little guy was about 1.5 inches long!

(Again...Squirt?  Finding Nemo, anyone? :)

Sharks! :/

With a cool reflection of coconut trees...

And me by yet another of these things.

But hey, it's a sea turtle.  It's not like I could pass that up! :)
