Sting Ray Gymnastics

Late yesterday afternoon we sat on the top of the dunes and watched a dozen sting rays leap 4 or 5 feet into the air and do a barrel roll before falling back into the sea. This went on for about an hour. We have no idea why they do this but it was both amazing and amusing. In addition, as we’ve observed each day, throughout today as we looked offshore we saw spouts from grey whales and an occasional breach. They’re far enough offshore that only with our binoculars can we see them clearly – fun.

We’ve decided to stay here one more night. The original plan was to move on for one night in Cabo San Lucas, but since it’s only 40 miles south of here, we decided to make it a day trip instead. We had planned on doing both tourist stuff and a shopping trip at Costco, then return to the beach as quickly as possible. At some point there are a couple of things we’d like to see and do in Cabo, but they can wait. For now we’re more interested in the laid-back Baja experience.

Hope all is well with everyone. Send an email when you get a chance to say hello. We’ll have daily internet again by Monday night.
