Adios Ixtapa

Another scorcher of an afternoon, spent lazily in the pool. It was late afternoon by the time I showered before an early dinner.

Our eyes were on the bay, where the sunset cruise sailboat was moving slowly across the water. Suddenly, we saw a huge splash and the characteristic tail of an orca frolicking near the sailboat. We watched, transfixed, for about five minutes. Another orca, less dramatic, was splashing not too far from the first.

I tried to take some video, but don't think I was successful. Bob used his binoculars almost sthe entire time, so he got a good view of at least one of the whales. It was a very moving and exciting end to our week in Ixtapa.
