This Wednesday’s Wonder: I Like Turtles at Laniakea Beach in Oahu.
The first time I met a sea turtle was on the Big Island of Hawaii. The family and I were swimming around in the ocean and one accidentally grazed my leg with his fin. I was ecstatic. As I reached out to pet him, my sister piped up (because she’s kind of a know-it-all and how would a thirteen-year-old know this): “I don’t think you can touch the turtles.”
Foiled! By the Endangered Species Act.
Anyway, a couple of years later, my husband and I traveled by car all over the island of Oahu and ended up at Laniakea Beach. There were so many turtles, shmoozing, tanning and moving incredibly slowly. There were so adorable. I guess that’s why that little zombie kid said he likes turtles.
