Monterey Day 2

Whale watching!  Day 1 was really windy and our whale watching excursion was pushed to Day 2.      We arrived at Fishermans Wharf early enough to snap some pics of an Otter mom and baby  

After boarding the ship,  we headed out to find some whales.  An hour of rolling through 8 foot seas resulting in a lot of heaving, but those of us that were left standing saw a pod of approximately 5 whales.  It was really hard to take pictures as the ship was pitching and rolling. The camera had trouble focusing and motion sickness hit every time that I looked through the view finder!  I did manage to get one decent picture
The trip was fun, but most of the folks were REALLY happy to get off the boat.  

Trish and I headed out to the Lighthouse and saw deer on a golf course
After that, we headed back to town for yet a great meal at an authentic Oaxacan restaurant.  Two white chicks were definitely in the minority at this restaurant. 

All in all, it was a great weekend.
