 There were over twenty of us who went to "Turtle Camp" this year.  We went over to Pointe Denis.  It was a great time!  Lisa (on the left) moved to Mali the day after we got back, so it was great to spend relaxing time with her before she moved.  We miss her greatly!!  They got to see a turtle, our second and last night there!!  It was about 3am in the morning.  They got to see the whole process of the mama coming up and laying her eggs... about 1h45m.

 There were two families that had kids about the same ages... they had a blast!

 We did a campfire on the beach!  And smores!!!  A treat since they don't sell graham crackers here... or marshmellows.  I believe a Grandma brought the marshmellows and Joanna had graham crackers from her food order, we just had to toast them a little (humidity).

Rachael did Arabic tea... she watered it down a little for us.  It is a ceremony, although we sort of did as we sat around the campfire. See more at... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moroccan_tea_culture
