mexican getaway

while david was sabering sparkling wine bottles in santa cruz, i was taking in the mexican sun in la paz, baja sur california, mexico. it was awesome.

here is a picture of my friends and i after some cold water snorkeling.


my comrades and i spent many hours on beaches, many pesos on fish tacos, and many calories swimming with sea lions. the highlight of the trip was our day of snorkeling around the large island of espiritu santo. this island is home to beautiful beach coves of sparkling clear green water, monster cactus, and marine mammals. we snorkeled with the very playful baby sea lions, and later caught the most spectacular show mother nature has to offer--the humpback whale breaching.

this is a picture of this whale's 2nd breach. she breached 4 times in less than 30 minutes, all within 100 feet of us. it was a most incredible experience.


there are lots more pictures of the trip, but i have to focus on packing the house up for another cross country move. stay posted for more pictures in a few weeks. maybe.
