Sea Life

We saw some incredible sea life while we were over there. We went on a whale watching boat, paddled a kayak, took a helicopter tour, walked by the beach, took a snorkeling boat, and I snorkeled nearly every day. And of course I got a few photos. I also got a neat video as I was swimming along with a turtle. It's 57MB so you probably need to save it to your machine to run it, but just right click here and select "save target as". It's really neat watching him fly through the water.

You don't see much in this shot (I should have been shooting a higher ISO) but we were watching a whale pair swimming along and a dolphin was swimming along with them and then slid right over the top of the whale who was right at the surface

Christi's not big into snorkeling, but she did get out once

Whale Jump

We saw whales leaping out of the water on several occasions but I was never able to catch one up close

Another Turtle

Walking along the path in front of our hotel we often saw turtles popping up for air
