Caring for a Juvenile Hawksbill Turtle in Curacao

Good evening friends, I just got home from the airport, we have two friends that flew in from Rapid City to spend five days with us!  They arrived with a little delay but with smiles on their face and after a quick greeting we headed off the beautiful Avila Hotel.  Tomorrow I have to work but Aimee will pick them up and start showing them the island, then on Saturday and Sunday they are mine!
 
I am feeling better today but still seem to have a bit of a fever, it seems to come and go?  I did go into work today but I did not have to get in the water. 
 
Here’s another shot of our one and only “Turtle Handler” Zenzi holding onto a ready to go little Hawksbill turtle.  Our turtles arrive at the aquarium in many ways.  Omar brought some to us as babies, fishermen bring them in, and some came to us with injuries.  We occasionally bring this guy out from inside and let him swim in a big lagoon and of course he loves it, just look at that smile on his face!
 
Sorry so short, pretty tired, Barry
