Cabo

 This was such a fun vacation!  The weather was great, the food was yummy, the beach was beautiful, and we went with the most fun people!! (Side note:  The yacht behind us is owned by some rich guy in Montana and is the same boat that was on the movie Overboard...complete with his own helicopter on the back.) 
 The first day after traveling, we took a water taxi out to see the arch.  You can see through the arch and see where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific ocean.  The rocks were amazing!
 There were sea lions everywhere.  They would even jump on the back of the fishing boats driving by for some fish and a free ride.  Here is the arch...

 Then after we went to see the arch, we convinced our boat driver to take us on out to see the whales.  He took us out to where the "whale excursion" boats were, and we found mom and baby humpback whales.  The whale boats left, and our captain kept following the whales for another 20-30 minutes.  It was amazing!  We were close enough to make me nervous! :) 

 On Sunday, we went to sacrament meeting in this little chapel.  The whole thing was in Spanish.  You would think that having 2 years of Spanish in high school would have helped a little...nope.  I got nothin'!
 We also went on a sunset dinner cruise.  It actually turned out to be kind of lame, but we still had a good time laughing at all the drunk old people who were attempting to dance and FAILING! :)

 We rented jet skiis and went out in the Sea of Cortez.  I have been a ton of times in a lake, and it is totally different in the ocean!  The waves were a blast!  And knowing that people jet skiing the previous day had seen whales in the bay, well....it was a little scary, but SO MUCH FUN!

 We drove over to Chileno Bay.  It was suppose to have good snorkeling, but the waves were too big and it was kicking up all the sand...not very good visibility.  It was nice to have a break from the beach vendors and crowds for a morning though.
 I am ready to go back...it was heaven!
