In the surrounding caves live five sea serpents. The people call them "The holy snakes". No one knows where they come from or where they go--but, at daybreak, when the tides are lowest, the five serpents are back in their little hole in the cave. Although, sea serpents are the most posionous of all snakes, these are known to be peaceful. The snake priest pulls out the whole entanglement of sleepy snakes. They are breathtakingly beautiful! While encouraged to "touch them for good luck", I shy away--- my camera handy!
