Okay, so I'm sure that I will have to post a few times to fit in all of the fun things we did on our cruise last week. This one will be dedicated to swimming with the Sea Lions in Puerto Vallarta. We met the bus at the pier around 9:15 am and drove for about 30 minutes to the "Vallarta Adventures" which has iguanas, dolphins, sea lions, birds, etc. There were only 10 people that were going to the Sea Lion Encounter that day. They took us on a boat to an island type area and we got to see all of the Sea Lions (and more dolphins...those things are everywhere!). They took us back to a private cove that had two Sea Lions (Cassandra & Shanna) waiting to play with us. There was another Sea Lion that wasn't behaving that day so we were instructed to stay away. Yes MA'AM!
They told use that we could pet them as much as we'd like but not to touch their faces or scratch their skin because they don't like that...who would? We got in the pool and each took turns stroking the Sea Lions, going out for hugs and kisses, having them jump over us. It was so cool to feel like you were really having conversations and interaction with these amazing animals. It was definitely one of the coolest things that we have ever done.
I added a few pictures here so that you can share in the fun. I'll be back later to post more about our amazing cruise!
