Thanksgiving was a little different this year. We spent the day traveling to the coast and spent the weekend at a turtle sanctuary swimming in the ocean and eating fresh fish and shrimp. We had lofty goals of cooking a big Thanksgiving dinner when we first got there, but decided instead on fresh fish for dinner.
We did get our potatoes though, with a side of shrimp.
This is what most of the days consisted of. It was quite exhausting.
This is one of the turtle nesting areas that you can see in the back of the above picture.
The second day we were there we did get around to cooking our Thanksgiving dinner. It was superb.
We had a beach bonfire after dinner and roasted marshmallows to the sounds of crashing waves.
We loved all the pigs around and this is an example of the typical housing in this area.
To get here we went through an estuary and mangrove forests.
This is the estuary we had to cross. It was an amazing weekend. We survived bug bites, cockroaches, a rat we had to herd out of our room, liz swam with dolphins and we managed to not get too sunburnt. Can't wait to see where we end up next year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi Guys,
Loved seeing your latest Thanksgiving photos. Surely these will be ones to bring out for many Thanksgivings to come. We had a great PreBirthday Party for your Mom last night, carrot cake, balloons and "Birthday girl" Tiara. A good time was had by all!
Have a wonderful time together this week. I know they are very excited to see you both. (Make sure she wears the "tiara" on Monday!!
Love, Roe
