Cabo San Lucas

Today, we went to Cabo San Lucas… We didn’t get much time here - on had to be back onboard the ship at 1:30. We booked a whale watching excursion here. We had a quick breakfast and then took the tender over to the pier where we met our tour guide at 10:15.

We took a zodiac and had a blast. Our guide, Miguel, was super cool. You could tell that he had a real love and respect for the animals. After cruising around lands end and the arc, we went out into the Pacific until we were all on our own. We saw a ton of dolphins, which was really cool. We also did see a pair of whales once. Towards the end of the tour, Miguel joined a pack of boats that was following a whale. He said he doesn’t like to do that, because so many boats bother the whales, but I think he felt badly that we hadn’t seen many. I liked that he only did that as a last resort.

After our tour (and a quick stop at a shop to bargain for sunglasses for Grant,) we got back on the tender and went back to the ship. We went up to our favorite spot on the deck and watched the sail away and looked for dolphins and whales - both of which we saw quite a few of.

Tonight was formal night, so we got dressed and had dinner at the Santa Fe restaurant. After dinner, we had a ton of shows - we watched the production show, “Undercover,” (a spy tribute - hmmmm original….) They had one scene that was exceptionally cool - where they singers because a character from clue and described how they could not have killed Mr. Body because…. And then they mixed he story with the song from “Chicago,” “He had it comin’…” Very cool.

After dinner we went over to the Explorer’s Lounge and watched the Newlywed/ Not-So-Newlywed game show, followed by a comedian, Jim McDonald.
