Whale watching in Mexico


I think this was the only whale tail we actually saw.....



I know my horizon is not straight, the boat was really rocking! But I like how this picture shows how close the whales were......up until our whale actually came up and let us touch him! (Deb had THOSE pics, I didn't do a good job taking her photo....OOOPPPS!)


On our boat the Tonina (it is a kind of little whale)



The boat docks





A lighthouse in Guererro Negro



Debbie looking at some poor sick pups eating a dead bird. They really were not looking good. It makes me so sad.....

Old boat and building near the lighthouse



Near the lighthouse. This was actually a bird sanctuary area.



Cardon cactus near Catavinia



Starbucks in the middle of nowhere Mexico



Adorable little girls selling bracelets and "eye of God" hanging things. They said "pllleeeeaasssee" How could you say NO? Some people did......NOT ME!!!!!!!!! Wanted to bring this littlest one home!





Mama Espinosa's



Maria, our wonderful Tour Guide gave us these beautiful Valentine's marshmallow candies. Some one she knew made them FOR US! It was a wonderful trip and I was just amazed at the things the Mexicans wanted us to have....this candy, homemade tamales. And I don't think Maria BOUGHT these things, I think they just wanted us to have them :)




Little boys playing soccer




Our room in Ensenada (I think....Debbie has all of them, I tried to save my batteries for the WHALES!)


A sign in our bathroom at one of the hotels and my new motto!




Our whale name tags!





Our "liquids" the first night! I couldn't handle my Margarita and gave it to Deb!



Border crossing on the way down (sorry they are not in chronological order...I am sleepy!)




No, Kona did not get to go :) But here is a recent picture of him....so you can get your Kona fix!
