The second half of our day in Acupulco was spent at what we thought would be a turtle farm. The tour highlight was to be releasing a baby sea turtle. When we arrived it turned out that these poor people had dug out turtle nests, gotten the eggs and waited for them to hatch, whereupon unsuspecting Eco-tourists could pay for the privelege of returning them to the world from which they had been snatched. Don't worry some of us refused to participate in protest! At any rate, at this location was a pet Conure, just hanging around on a fencepost. Carrie offered it her finger and wAs thrilled when it accepted her invitation. The bird promptly waltzed up her arm and started trying to pull her ear rings through her earlobes! After that the little devil tried to bite the mole off of her neck! She was finally able to put it back on the post but not before it expressed it's displeasure about being denied it's twin goals!
