Fabuous pcitures! I like watching the turtles. I have seem many of the small turtle (snapping) near the river and bake in the summer sun on the rocks. But these big ones from the sea are something else! Also the lizards and the ones like the dragons Wow you have had a fantastic trip!
You are quite right. However people have a natural fear if they are ignorant about it plus carrying the baggage of feeling that they cannot communicate should something happens. You are very unusual becuase you are able to tell those thoughts to go away and not bother you but focussed on what you want to do , instead of focussing on what you cannot do. That is your route to success! Congratulations! You will have a very meaningful life to live.
