We are on the move again! We are en route from our little paradise of Castara for the town of Plymouth. We are hoping to spend some time on Turtle Beach and perhaps see some of the hatchling turtles make their way to the water. Again, not quite sure what to expect when we get there but are excited about seeing something new.

We spent six wonderful, relaxing days in Castara another small fishing village on the Carribbean side of the island. Life seems to move at a much slower pace here than back at home and it has taken us some adjustment time to get in to the groove of "liming" away our days. We are now quite proficient at waking up late, laying on the beach for hours, swimming carelessly, and taking it easy. We met a Swiss couple who was spending a couple of weeks in the tiny village before they head home after a year of doing volunteer work and travelling in Cusco, Peru and throughout South America. It was really encouraging and interesting to hear their stories! The man who ran the "beach resort", Ancle, had travelled to Guyana before and said that although it was severly underdeveloped it was a beautiful and had a lot of potential. Very exciting!

Once again, we have a ton of good pictures to show everyone but are unable to post them while we are on the move. We will have them up and running in a couple of weeks. Hope everyone is doing well and that those of you who attended ACL are recovering nicely!

Love you all and we will write again soon!

Love the posts you guys. We ended up going to ACL on Fri and Sun. Saw your brother about two minutes after we got there on Fri. He was tearing around on a red Rascal. I should have got a picture with him for you. We are leaving for MD next weekend. Try to take it easy, will ya?
