In the afternoon the Sunday rain delayed Daytona 500 was broadcast live on TV. I watched the Mexican version of ESPN with the sound muted and instead listened on-line to a radio station from Arizona broadcasting it. The only drawback was the radio was a good 30 seconds behind the TV.
Horrible wreck at the end of the race however the driver, Ryan Newman , survived. Whew!
Looking left from our place towards the central part of the city (where the cruise ships dock)
Today, Tuesday was fantastic. Caro went for a walk on the beach and after a bit came running back to our place saying she needed her camera and that there were whales! I am glad she was close enough to come back as I would have missed them!
A bit tough to see in this photo but there is a mom and baby in center of the photo. They haven't been this close all month, and they swam parallel to the beach right past us (but by then my cell phone was out of battery).
About 4 P.M. in the afternoon we started a 5 km. walk up to Walmart with a stop for supper in a restaurant near there. We had queso fundido, skewers of chicken,shrimp and steak, and Corona beer. Tasty but pricey.
After supper we headed up to the beach behind Walmart for the nightly release of freshly hatched turtles. It is late in season so we got lucky to see the dozen that were released.
Once the sun had gone down and the birds had left the area (they LOVE eating little turtles) the volunteers overturned the tub at the edge of the beach where the waves came up to and shortly there after a big wave washed up and the turtles were flushed into the ocean.
We were not that far from Las Hades resort and I took ANOTHER awesome sunset photo. (Las Hades resort is just beneath the sun).
We completed some final shopping at Walmart and Soriano's before getting a cab ride home. Tomorrow is our last full day here so we bought things Caro and I are taking home with us on Thursday.
