On Day 4 we were still in Cabo. We rode a Catamaran and looked at some of the scenic parts of Cabo.


Heh. We left really early. Sarah was tired and feeling a little queasy from all the boat rides.
Look! Its the tip of the Baja Peninsula! ...its upside down and sticking out of the water.
We also saw 'El Archo'. Its where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez.

Its also a popular place for sea lions! Welcome to the sea lion colony. During our 2 days in Cabo, we also had the sea lions swim alongside our boats. They were so big! And loud!


After looking at the scenic landscapes, we went farther out into the ocean to travel to the spot where we were going to go snorkeling and kayaking. On the way we got to WHALE WATCH! It was so cool! There was what appeared to be a Mama and her youngin. We got to see them spout water and jump out of thewater doing backflips. In the only picture I managed ot catch them in you can see the whale's tail splashing the water.
We also saw a fin right alongside our catamaran. The tour guide said it was a killer whale. We could see the huge whatever it was diving deeper into the water. I think we must have startled 'whatever it was'!
At this point our camera died because we failed to change out the batteries the night before. So you don't get to see us in our 2-man kayak or in our snorkel gear. Shucky-darn. It was so much fun though! We kayaked around the bay we were in and back to the catamaran. Then we geared up and went into the water to snorkel.
Sarah was a little tentative at first, as water (especially 50ft deep ocean water) is not her best friend. But she overcame her fears and stuck her head down into the water and swam over to enjoy all the fish. One of the guides had some of us gather near him and put some bread into the water. The fish were literally touching us they were so close!! They were so colorful and weren't shy to swim alongside the humans. We spotted Dory the fish (like from Finding Nemo). And Sarah may or may not have accidentally punched a fish.
After our fun adventure, we rode the catamaran (oh, they fed us yummy food and drinks- though we declined the shots of tequila) back to the Cabo port, then rode the tender boat back to the ship. Another fabulously exhausting day!
