Bay of Turtles: Bahía de Jiquilisco, El Salvador
... a conservation movement that could save one of the world’s
most endangered populations of ocean wildlife.
My arrival to Jiquilisco Bay in southern El Salvador started
at the small port town of Puerto Parada. We waited for the boat to arrive on a
small concrete dock at the end of the main road into town. There was little
indication that we were on the edge of the largest wetland in the country other

Peace Corps, the end.
... everyone was totally into. A lot of new kids decided to come to the class for the first time and pretended like they wanted to learn, but really they just knew I'd bring treats and wanted to take advantage of it. Luckily I'm really mean and had zero problem telling them to beat it.
