I have been battling stomach aches all day today, as well as a scratchy throat. These are the days I miss the comforts of home.
Ashley and I did get out of the house today to hit up Playa Grande. It was our first time, and it really was beautiful. (Minus the gloomy clouds and misty rain.) I was looking out at the water praying to see a whale emerge from the blue, but NOTHING.
When I game back home Kim was out (she's the marine biology teacher here at CDS and she and her husband have been living here for 7 years or so) and I asked her if I was correct or not about whales. I thought I recalled seeing on Discovery Channel about how whales migrate during winter. She said "CORRECT!" The Humpback whale actually is migrating now. The pregnant mothers are here now having babies, then the males will come shortly after, then the teenage whales not yet sexually mature to mate. Then by March they all go back up north to Alaskaian waters.
Cross your fingers that I will see a whale in the distance one of these days. They have already been spotted at Playa Flamingo (and I go there quite often).
