Today we started late in the morning and returned to the ARCAS turtle sanctuary to help paint the new hatcheries that they built with $20,000 that was donated to them by Busch Gardens and SeaWorld. We all worked together to paint the inside and outside of the low walls and pillars with white paint to protect the cement, which turned out to actually be fun and even satisfying, and although the volunteers at ARCAS will still have to add a second coat over our work they told us that the twenty of us painting saved them a week of work. We ended up leaving a “CCS” painted on one of the pillars of the sanctuary, which like the coffee trees we planted at the Menesses, will serve as a future reminder of where we have been.
Now I know what those things are. Many hands make light work. Sounds like a pretty cool day all around.
