We went on a great snorkeling trip with Club Med.

We went out on a snorkelling boat, but we were too chicken to go in the water. It was too cold. We got this nice shot of a pelican, though. We went on an excursion to 'Bird Island'. Bird Island is very small, very well covered with ugly birds, and very boring. However, we spotted two whales on the way there... Here is a close-up of the spout. We also happened upon some dolphins. At first we could see them doing flips about 200 feet away... And they slowly got closer. Eventually they were swimming right next to the boat. We were out on the hull, about 5 feet away - at which point Wendy was too overwhelmed with the experience to be taking pictures! (they were literally splashing us!) Here we are at Bird Island. Nice cactus. Thanks to the photographer, Jesús, for taking this photo. A close-up of the cactii in bloom. Now imagine a whole island full of these ugly things, staring at you, completely tame. Thankfully, on the way back, we saw another whale.
