Monday night, January 17...Our last full day before heading home. It was mostly about "us" today. We spent about an hour in the morning getting prices on materials, food, etc. at Home Depot and Wal-Mart, then we had an afternoon of FUN. We drove into San Lucas--oh! have I mentioned that I LOVE driving in Mexico? The rules are more or less there for personal interpretation. I'm sure that's not true, but everyone sure drives like it is!
We went out into the Sea of Cortez on a large catamaran with about 25 other people for a snorkeling adventure. We had a photo op at "Lover's Beach" and the arch at "Land's End." As we were taking our 45-minute cruise to the snorkeling destination, our cruise turned into a whale-watching excursion. We were able to see a gray whale breach a few times; Sheila captured it on camera. We continued on to our snorkeling beach, where, according to the laws here, we HAD to don life vests in order to snorkel, much to Sheila's delight, and much to my dismay. :) The water was pretty cold, so everyone was done within 45 minutes, but lunch was waiting for us, so within minutes we were warm and content.
When we returned to the dock, we walked around, picking up a few little souvenirs (we have grandchildren, you know! and Sheila and Sherrill love the Vanilla for baking that they make down here), and had another fabulous meal.
Back at our room, we settled down for one more game of cards. Ray and I are leaving these cards in Mexico.
Looking forward to being back home--Central Oregon is a GREAT place to come home to! Especially because of the people there. Dios los bendiga. (God bless all of you.)
