Took this photo with the partner’s phone. Big bowl of fresh fruits for me
Prawns
Poblano pepper stuffed with vegs. Btw, the camera got soaked when the whale blew a mushroom cloud of bubbles from under me and the camera went bonkers for a while. This photo was taken during that stage when it had trouble with focusing.
Almost everything comes with tortillas. We are not tired of them yet. In the hotel room we eat them with avocado or mango paste/membrillo all the time. Or dip them in different kinds of salsa when eating out (I mean besides filling them with food).
This one approached our boat making its presence known by coming on very strong. You can see the eye above water.
The last 3 tours we had multiple friendly whales coming to us seeking interaction. Got to touch them many many times.

Sometimes they approach the boat swimming on their back. They also like rolling around and floating on their backs when interacting with you, like this one. Grey whales don’t have barnacles on one side of their faces. That’s because they only eat on one side, scraping one side of the face on the bottom scooping up food.
Btw, finally today I found a shop (a tip from the owners of my lodging) selling chipotle meco. The meco kind is hard to find even in Mexico. I got half kilo of Meco and half kilo morita. I already got more from another place previously. My rucksack is now half full of dried chillies!
