We spent two weeks in Trinidad preparing Aquila to be
without us for 3 months.
In Trinidad, we took a tour to see the giant Leatherback
turtles laying their eggs. The turtle looks red because we used a
red flashlight so as not to disturb her.
After she lays the eggs, she covers the nest with sand and returns to
the sea.
The babies hatch, crawl out of the sand and head straight
for the water.
We flew to California, picked up our 4 grandchildren, and
took a month-long RV road trip through the Southwest. We named the
trip PAMOSA "Papa and Mamma's Outstanding Summer
Adventure".
We visited Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma and
Texas. Read our Letter Home for more details.
