Huge Sea Turtle Crashes Wedding

It had been years since the last time we saw Leatherback sea turtles come to Cabo, and since November, we have had three of them on different beaches laying their eggs. Over a dozen baby sea turtles have been born, and we expect more very soon. In the meantime, a 500 kilos (over 1,100 lbs) Leatherback crashed a wedding at Villas del Mar in Palmilla at 11:00 pm. Security personnel was there to secure the area and make sure nobody bothered her while she laid 67 eggs. Only the groom and bride, Jacobo Batarse and Maria Simon were allowed to get a tad nearer for the photo opp.
