(DAY 43) I couldn't get the lighting perfect on this shot. As soon as the gentleman that caught him on his fishing line released him, he took off very quickly.

Thanks, Larry Meade for the identification -- I've looked it up -- seems right.... but I'm no expert with turtles, (knowing what a Box Turtle is about the most I know!), so I'll call it a "Painted Turtle", but if anyone else has other identification ideas -- they are welcome.

This turtle was stranded at low tide. We poured some water on its shell and body to stop it from drying out, but it was way too heavy for us to move.

According to others who came after us, the turtle's front-right flipper (not shown) was injured. Poor thing.

A turtle we came across while riding...after the photo op, we made sure that he made it to the side of the road that he was heading to.

There were a lot of turtles in El Salvador

I didn't have anything to show the scale, but this turtle must be at least three feet long. It looks like a freaking dinosaur.

Just a bit of a shame the colour is as washed out.

The turtles are supposed to be swimming in water... maybe?
