No hatchlings yet

For the past couple of nights, we have watched the nest carefully. No activity so far.

As I said, I moved into my new house yesterday. I really like my housemates. Gigi is in massage school and works at a boutique in town. Neil works at a restaurant down the road. Lauren is studying organic chemistry.

The house is nice and open wih big windows, but its all disorganized and the floors are very dirty. They have a broom but no mop and no vacuum. I went into town today to try and find a mop with no success. there are plenty of clothing and surf stores but you can't buy a mop anywhere.  So I bought some groceries instead and decided I'll clean the floor of my bedroom Cinderella-style, on my hands and knees.

Fun fact:
The eggs are buried about a foot beneath the surface. The first sign of hatching is a depression forming in the sand. This is caused by the sand falling between the cracks of the broken eggs as the hatchlings break out. The depression grows larger and larger, and after an hour or so, little heads begin to poke out of the sand. Sometimes this process can take longer, maybe even six hours.
