And away from the invasion of the crabs! This photo doesn't come close to showing the sea of crabs we were greeted by our last 2 days on Providencia. The archipelago of San Andres/Providencia/SantaCatalina is the only place in the world where this happens! Our hotel was in their path from the mountain to the sea, so they would sidle through the dining room, scurry into corners to hide...even in bathrooms. They are funny to look at individually, with their claws up in the air like you just said, "stick 'em up!" But in hoards...ewww. It's an important event though, and if the winds and the currents don't lead the baby crabs back to the islands, then there will be no more crabs on the island. What a research project for some biologists!
