A Journey To The Whale Taxi
Holy mackerel! This was a good trip. We booked everything thru Shari ahead of time and drove down to Guerrero Negro to meet her and some fellow
Nomads. Here's some pictures:
Rolling out of the driveway.
Getting legal at the Immigration office in San Ysidro.
We stayed at Las Palmas:
First night in Ensenada
DONUT COMA
WINDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Party room at the Cowboy. Thanks for the hookup Shari. We were comfy.
We had dinner with some Nomads (not sure of their screen names and don't want to post their real names without asking)
Shari gave us a book on Gray Whales to read the night before. Very educational and prepped us quite well for what we'd see.
We woke up the following morning pretty early, picked up our pre-ordered kick arse breakfast (burritos, fruit bowl, fresh OJ) and headed to the
lagoon.
Our leader!!!!
Part 2 to follow.

And here she is..............A whale we decided to name "Taxi"
Why? Because she kept rubbing on the bottom and bow of the boat, pushing us along, being our "taxi"
She was so majestic. Calm. Playful. Observant.

We had to leave too early. We missed Shari's b-day bash. Work was calling as well as the San Felipe 250 next weekend. We bailed.
Salt anyone?
High centered on Highway 1.
??????????????????????????????????????????????
Dinner at the restaurant that shall not be named. Great happy hour margarita also.
Sorry this took so long to post. Photobucket is a nightmare.
Stoked to make some new friends on this trip, see some old friends, meet some Nomads, and do it all safely for another great family trip.
Thanks for the hook up Shari.

uuuuups...lo siento...there ya go in the original post...I'm not happy with the new Photobucket though as neither the slide show or the organize
feature is working yet so it's a hodgepodge of photos in no particular order...order is important to me and I cant figure out how to get the old
Photobucket back....waaaaah
