This was our mega-whale watching boat! We probably would have chosen something smaller, but it was free, so we go with the flow! Check-in time was 8:30 and we cast off at 9:00 am. They did have a buffet breakfast and open bar included. After breakfast, we spent all of our time on the deck where those folks are standing.
As we left the marina, we headed out to "El Arco", the arch. The distinctive landmark of Cabo San Lucas is the rugged taffy-colored rock formation that erupts from the sea at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. The area where these rocks formed is also known as Land's End. If you followed a line south from this spot, you would not touch land again until you reached the South Pole!
If you look at the rock below, it looks like the Baja California Peninsula upside down - IF you are at the correct angle! From here it looks like a bunny!
In the picture below you can see it a little better off the very left of the rocks. If you take a smaller boat or water taxi to the beach there you can see it much better.
There were SOOO many boats out whale watching this morning it was crazy! Every time someone spotted a whale, it was off to the races trying to catch up to it.
Tail flukes
I wanted to be in that small boat!
This isn't very clear, but this whale was really jumping out of the water!
Goodbye whales and back to the marina!

Some sights along the way.
Marina and downtown area

We picked up some groceries for lunch and hiked up the hill. These two cars were parked next to each other. Quite interesting! The VW had pompoms attached to it and lots of stickers!
The Caddie was a 6-door model.
We spent some time up by the rooftop pool this afternoon, then I let Tobey beat me at gin - again! We decided to try one of the local restaurants we had gone by a few times for dinner tonight. Needless to say, we had a hard time remembering which street it was on! We did pass by some interesting sights along the way. This dog was just watching everyone go by!
Some fancy artwork on one of the buildings.
Finally, we reached our destination. Not fancy to look at ... and they were getting ready to close. The only thing they still had on the menu that we could order were quesabirrias which came with soup, so we did. The soup was quite spicy and the sandwiches were pretty bland. I'm not sure if we will go back to try the tacos or not - there are too many restaurants to choose from.
We're in for the night and haven't made plans for tomorrow so stay tuned!
