It was all about to pay off
Finally, the night I had been waiting for had arrived. I and my mother had endured a long journey to Costa Rica. Once we were there, I had to sit—impatiently—through what seemed like a ridiculously long drive to Ostional Beach. Once we were in the right place, I and my mother waited for nightfall. It had been a long journey, but now it was all about to pay off. I heard my mother gasp, “Look!” In the dark water of the sea were dozens, then hundreds, of enormous female sea turtles. As I and my mother watched in wonder, the determined sea turtles dragged their heavy bodies out of the water and up onto the beach.
