Carlin was at the turtle center on Jeckle Island. We toured the facility and found this little guy swimming in a tank. The state of Georgia allows them one rescue turtle to use as an education ambassador for a year. Carlin was hatched on July 29th 2017. The nest was excavated a few days later and that was when carlin was chosen to be the ambassador. They also knew who his mother was. Her name is Cinco and appropriately enough because she was tagged on Cinco de Mayo. She also had 5 confirmed nests that year.
The days are winding down here, we are one day closer to home. I am torn though, I know it will be hard to leave and yet, I miss home. Family , friends, and fellowship, all that makes India,
Well.... India!
