I forgot to write about an amazing experience we had in San Jose del Cabo. At the marina there is the Dolphin Discovery operation next door that gets people in the water with trained dolphins. We walked over to check it out and found out that they had an area roped off for a pregnant dolphin that was due to give birth any time. There were trainers that were on watch 24/7 and we got to know them and learned a little about dolphins. The gestation time is one year and the babies are born tail first and generally weight about 15 to 25 pounds. One of the trainers predicted that the baby would be born on Mother's Day which was May 10. Sure enough it was born at 3AM on Mother's day and is the cutest little thing swimming around with its mom. The mother never strays from the baby and steers it and makes it dive etc. Penny gave the trainers a bottle of Pina Colada to celebrate with and they thanked her for it. I have some pictures that I will post when we get to San Diego and I rest up and get some Wi-Fi so check back.
