The world according to me....

The last full day of the International Sea Turtle Symposium is usually a flurry of activity, and includes things such as the Plenary Session, Closing Ceremony, and last-minute side discussions. This year, the annual Marine Turtle Specialist Group meeting also occurred on the last full day, as did the meeting of judges for Best Student Presentation Awards and a keynote address. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so I couldn't capture the moment when Nat Frazer asked the audience to regard their thumbs during his talk in the Futures session (everyone complied).

At the end of the day, I realized that I still hadn't spoken with several folks that I wanted to catch up with. My only consolation was that on the following day, I would be travelling to Tortuguero with a small group of people, and I would be able to finally see for myself the famous nesting beach.
