Whale watching & El Arco - 5 Mar 2024
I got about 3 hours of sleep last night. I wasn't really dragging because it's so perfect here. I went to the pool at lunch time.

After work, we were picked up for our whale watching tour. We headed to Cabo San Lucas marina. Wow! Some of the yachts had helicopters on them. I saw a little puffer fish while getting on the boat.

We had to wear the life jackets, unless we were willing to pay the $7K fine.

We headed out of the marina. Here's proof that's pirates are real.

We didn't see any whales, but the boat ride alone was worth it.

Aubrey and Jamie both fell asleep, so we gave up looking for whales and headed to El Arco.

What a beautiful place.

I had a hard time looking at everything.

There it is, El Arco. We pulled up and took lots of pictures.

Then we headed back to the marina. We saw pelicans and a sea lion on the way.

I think this is a hot spot for pelicans.

Here is a video from our boat ride.
We did a little shopping, then walked to a coffee place to use the bathroom. The driver picked us up and returned us to the resort. Look at the sunset colors tonight.
