The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration youth group from North Dallas blogs live from their environmental mission trip to Cozumel, Mexico, where they'll assist sea turtles that come ashore annually to lay their eggs.

 

And so we come to a close

All around as I type this, the youth group is running around the house collecting scattered belongings and packing gifts from the island. We head home tomorrow bright and early, and my what a week.

Day 1
We ate at a spectacular restaurant and helped the local economy.

Day 2
We spent time getting to know the island.We played with a dolphin named Eva (this was her name before Wall-E).

Day 3
We spent Wednesday giving all of our love to animals at the humane society.

Day 4
This was the night that the turtle people found 100 nests. That day we went to the Spanish English Academy and secured Texas Independence by winning at jeopardy.

Day 5
Another day at the humane society, and yours truly went out to save the baby turtles

Day6
Our day off to appreciate the island. There is so much of it to wonder at

Day 7
We helped a man named Pepe...see Jennys blog to really understand.

Mike was kind enough to provide me with some numbers from our trip.
1,200 Baby turtles made it to the water with our help

We found 265 nests were marked...thats about 31,700 eggs

We have done well

Yours Truly
JP
