Summer Cruise for Teachers

Day 5 - Photo Gallery

The morning adventure got us up as the sun started to

rise and the moon and Jupiter were falling but still visible in the sky.

We headed to shore to explore a new area.

We all split into small groups and headed inland.

The landscape and geology was quite interesting.

The cactus were quite large for such a low-lying brush area.

Amanda holds a piece of beautiful white quartz in her hand.

Kenton and Marcie collected sea treasures from the beach.
Skeletal remains of a couple stingrays, a turtle and a couple large shells.

Our after breakfast adventure took us out in the
pangas alongside a pod of Common Dolphins.

They were happy and playful. Jumping and splashing everywhere.

We were surrounded by them.

They didn't mind in the least that we were alongside.

It was amazing to watch.

This one cleared the water by at least 5 feet.

You could here them clicking and echolocating in a high-pitch squeal.

... and then they were gone.
We were so charged by the experience we decided
to forego snorkeling and kayaking for whalewatching.

About an hour and a half later we spotted a Finback whale. When it

surfaced you could hear the strength in the exhale/inhale through the blowhole.

Then it started to dive.

Showed its dorsal fin.

And then disappeared. We watched for
about an hour before heading back into La Paz.

Once back at the docks we said our goodbyes to the crew.

The last picture of the trip!

What a spectacular ending to a "Summer Cruise for Teachers"!!!!!
