Turtles, the new biofuel?


There's a turtle farm on the island (it's a Tortugranja for those speaking Spanish at home). No, they don't raise them for food, they gather the eggs and raise them until they're about a year old so they can release them, giving them a better chance of surviving. They're endangered, you know, so stop eating that turtle egg omelet right this instant.

There's also the world's smallest Mayan ruins, a 5' x 5' — okay, 2 meters x 2 meters — piece of wall which is all that's left thanks to hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, lots of beaches, and golf carts galore. No golf courses, just golf carts.
