So, this week, I have seen much, some of which I did not even need to disembark to see.
First, as we were leaving Isla Boná, we encountered a pod of false killer whales, who decided to have some fun and ride on our bow.
Apparently, this is a phenomenon with many other marine mammals, but I have yet to hear the reason behind it, if there even is one. Who knows? Perhaps they simply are having some fun!
We then made our triumphant, last return to Isla Iguana. Here, we reacquainted ourselves with the hermits, maaaan...
...who were in the midst of foraging, as they always are...
The nesting grounds for the magnificent frigate birds are also on the island (see "It's all about the hermits, maaaaaan" post), and we were lucky enough to observe some mating behavior, where the male inflates his neck pouch to "attract the ladies."
Talk about a smooth operator!
During our nature walk, I managed to capture a photo of one of the holes left from the bomb testing by the United States military. Have at it, you history buffs!
I also joined some of the guests on the Pargo trail of Parque Nacional Corcovado, where we encountered various species of lizards...
...pursued the white-nosed coati...
...tiptoed around a butterfly or two...
...and caught quick glimpses of the elusive (and ridiculously fast) spider monkey!
Now, we are in "re-positioning," which means that we will not have any guests on the ship for the next week as we make our way up to Baja...PARTY TIME!
