You are never going to believe this, but it is for real...
We were taking the trail down to the beach for one last walk before heading home after a wonderful week in Todos Santos. All of a sudden we heard a powerful whooosh. Looked up and there was a spout from a whale right off the beach. I mean -- RIGHT THERE! So excited we hurried the rest of the way. It was sooo close. And then...we saw another whale and another and another. There we were right in the midst of an unbelievable show and Gene without his camera that he ALWAYS carries.

Because the drop off from the beach is so deep they could swim right up almost to shore. They stuck their noses up in the air (do whales have noses?) and looked at us. We looked back. They rolled in the sand, floated awhile and glided. We walked along beside them as they headed north. I think they liked our company. They flipped their tales and waved. We reluctantly turned away. Dragging our feet we had a plane to catch, a plane back to reality.
