Whales, dolphins and iguanas, oh my!

Vacationing at Casa Melissa this week has been an incredible nature experience without leaving the house!

At sunset last night we saw a pod of dolphins swimming and jumping out of the water – just about 1/4 mile out in the ocean. I could see them jumping with the naked eye!

And whales, everyday we have seen whales spouting and showing their fins. Some in small groups, some seem alone. This is the best year for seeing whales since we started coming to San Pancho.

The resident iguana is hanging out in a tree over the ocean

And the resident iguana is back. This year he likes sunning himself in the branches of a tree that hangs right over the water. When you come, look at the tree to the right of the pool just over the ocean. What an amazing spot he picked to perch!
