Ojo de Liebre--Las Ballenas Gris

We've been a bit slow updating the blog--tough to do when we're on the road, but since we're back in Bahia, we're going to crack the whip and get this thing moving!

On Sunday (Jan 14) we were camped just outside of Guerrero Negro for our annual whale watching experience. We're a bit early in the season, as there are only about 50 whales in the lagoon now, but, we did see several whales, including some moms and their calves. The weather was bright and cold...and wet! Note--don't sit in the back of the boat if you don't want to get wet! The boats are little fishing pangas, not the big diesel belching fishing boats you might be familiar with if you've gone whale watching in California. If you're ever down this way, you really need to see these magnificent creatures.
