A whale show!!!

A few days ago some people dropped in to see the hotel.  This happens fairly often, they see the sign, and probably wouldn't mind a break from the bumpy road, so they come in and we give them a tour. 

What timing these people had!!  In much closer than usual were humpback whales, breaching and breaching, over and over again.  It seemed to go on for an hour, and you could hear their voices as they broke the surface.  Absolutely thrilling!

A woman in the party had her camera out and was furiously taking pictures, nearly in tears.  "You'll have to excuse me" she said.  "I've never seen this before!"

Turtles by the Sea

Our gracious hostess; Devora, told us about a wonderful beach, Los Arbolitos, that we checked out on Tuesday, January 18th, 2011. As we pulled up we saw a couple excited locals on the beach. They gestured us over to see what all the excitement was about. Baby sea turtles had just hatched and were playing around in the sand. It was an amazing site to see and they even urged me to hold one! My partner and I felt so blessed to experience such an event! This whole trip has been such a beautiful one. I lack the words to even describe it. Villa del Faro is a paradise unlike any other place we have seen on earth. We are so glad that it found us. ~ Jordan & Jenni Blue
