Whale Watching





Went to Puerto Lopez Mateos on the Pacific to do a little whale watching! Entailed putting lots of clothes on and hiring a boat to take us out in the bay to get closer to the gray whales. This is a big business for this area...there were 6 other pangas out at the same time we were. The whales migrate here from the Beufort Seas and are here to give birth, usually to one calf, from Jan. to March. We saw a few whales that had their young close by. The dunes that covered the barrier island next to the bay were a blast to play in. Also great lobster here...we had a dinner consisting of 3 lobster tails, rice, salad and soup for $15 US Dollars.
