Bahia de Los Angeles, Day 1

We woke to sunshine and calm air (it's been windy the last few days - common here in Baja during the winter) and it was already above 70 degrees when we went for our run at 7:30. About 9 this morning we heard the "huff" sound of marine mammals. We looked up and found a school of dolphins, approximately 20-30 of them, feeding and playing about 100 feet off shore. They stayed out there for three hours, cavorting, eating and blowing. We're told they are fairly common here. They're bigger than the Dall's porpoises we commonly see at home and don't have the visible white saddle patch, so presumably are a different kind. The campground was largely empty when we got here yesterday, but seems to be filling up. This is our last stop "at the beach" for our Baja adventure, so we're going to relax and enjoy it while we can. Bob is going to try to store up sunshine so he can last until July 15th when the sun will come out in Olalla (his characterization). We expect to be here 3-4 nights before heading north for the mountains.
