For my Dominican birthday I got to spend most of the day with Stephen and I got to see the baby sea turtles! It couldn't have been better. Stephen made me an adorable birthday card which was incredibly sweet. After he put in a couple hours of studying we rented a car for the day and headed to Roseau. We had lunch at the french bakery and got pizza and a slice of amazing birthday cake! Then we headed back to Rosalie Bay to see baby sea turtles hatch! The number one thing I wanted to see while living here were the baby sea turtles hatch and head to the ocean. It worked out perfectly being able to see them on my birthday. When Simon opened the nest he found that most of the turtles had already hatched earlier in the week and most that were left had died. There were four baby leatherbacks in the nest that hadn't died that we got to see head to the ocean. We stuck around and watched one for about 45 minutes while he made his way to the ocean. It is pretty incredible how as soon as they are born they know what to do and where to go to get to the ocean. It is something I won't ever forget. After seeing the baby turtles we headed home and for my birthday got to sleep all night long with the air conditioner on. It was amazing!

This little guy made it to the ocean after about an hour.
