Hasta La Proxima

Today marked the end of Jack and Linda's stay here so we went for a last visit at the complex where they are staying. Jack took in a final dose of rays under a sun beaming from a cloudless sky and he is now assured of arriving home as brown as his shoes. The weather today was perfect.

Someone pointed out to us a whale cavorting in the ocean near a sailboat and we watched it for a while. Alas, it was camera shy which is why I don't have a photo of one of his jumps out of the water but he was doing it just like the Pacific Life Insurance Company's logo.

 

The photo below barely shows the sailboat, never mind the whale playing in the waters near it.

Below is a  detail of this photo. The white spot almost in the center, just below the horizon, is the whale's fin sticking straight up. Hey, you want better a photo of a whale than this go search for 'whale' on Google images. This was the best I could do. Needless to say, we saw far more than we could photograph.

Later a wisp of melancholy descended on us as we gazed upon the last sunset from their balcony. The next one of these for them will be in eleven months.

The four of us wandered over to El Galéon for a supper which turned out to be memorable. El Galéon is a wooden ship anchored at the Marina and converted into a charming dining environment. Our friendly waiter, Cisco, who learned his English in California, served us well and with outstandingly tasty food. Even the concluding coffee was superb.

Hasta La Proxima, Ixtapa.

Tomorrow I absolutely must give attention to a quest for a Barberia. *That* should be interesting.
