We were invited by a friend to visit Mazunte's Turtle Museo. It was a Christmas Gift for Angel.

We had a really nice time. 

Although, Angel thought the turtles looked sad and we both agreed they need more rocks and shells and green plants in their habitats.

 I hope that they can get some funding for it and help the turtles be happier :D  I told Angel we are just really used to the Vancouver Aquarium and how beautiful the habitats are.

 I also told her and she knows herself, that it costs an millions of dollar to do create and maintain those habitats.  They don't have that kind of money here obviously but I hope they can get it somehow!!

For 3 people to visit the Mazunte Turtle Museo it was $87 pesos, in Canada for just Angel and I to visit it is $50. That's like 5x more to visit the Vancouver Aquarium.  But there is a lot more to see and do there .

Still I hope funding comes from somewhere to help spruce up the tanks and make it a little more cheery for the poor turtles who just swim around all day while people take their photos and look at them.

If you read this please mention it to someone who may be able to help. Thanks! :D
