Last year, I found a beautiful conch shell in Aruba. The territory's customs laws prevented me from bringing it off the island, but I spent some time at the end of the trip making sure that the shell would be recoverable. I went to a small tree on the far side of the resort with a low volume of people, and I spent 15 minutes trying to shove the shell into the opening of the tree. It was very hard to pull the shell out of the tree once I had finished. I am going back to Aruba this year and I know what tree the shell was in. Will it still be there?
