we last left you enjoying the beauty of Catavina after running around for for 48
hours to try and correct our border crossings since then we've driven five
hours south to Guerrero negro where we are beyond stoked to meet the thousands
of grey whales and their calves who are nesting here cropped it up so it's an iced latte this
morning makes me feel like I'm at home even when I'm far far away if you guys
want to start your morning the same way with a fresh cup of chai we've got our
chai company link below you can check it out now another reason why she's got a
huge sonrisa on her face is because today
what are we done oh my goodness I don't want to jinx it or anything but we're
supposed to see grey whales and their baby calves that were just birthed like
that freaking crazy exciting stuff and we get to be like right up close to them
and they look good I'm so excited now I know we showed you some beautiful camp
sites but it's just as important to show you not so beautiful this is very sad
Liza it's our neighbor of the red truck the red van my red van lifer yep so yeah
we literally slept in the middle of the town of gonna get on a get off okay we
got to go we're kind of running late
we met with our tumor group and drove together the 45 minutes through the salt
flats to over to Libre we'll be getting on a boat at the lagoon to get up close
and personal with the beautiful gray whales super overwhelmed to know that
they're here for sure I'm like maybe you can see the blowholes in the distance
apparently there's over 800 whales that come in here and nest because they've
been feeding in Alaska for most of a year and then they've had their babies
in Alaska so what happens is they typically are in Alaska I gotta wipe my
tears away they're in Alaska and they feed until it's no longer warm enough
then they come down but this year the weather was warmer for longer so they
actually started having their babies along the way to the lagoon which is
really tragic because then a lot of those calves don't survive and then the
other ones come here okay everybody's told me to wrap it up basically they're
here having their babies and then they like keep them here until they're big
enough and that's why they're playful because they're a little bit bored
because there's they've got nothing going on they're just hanging out with
her little babe and then they like like
she's gonna be our guide today I'm so excited yesterday at a cafe and her love
and enthusiasm for the whales like plus she said the owner was Canadian so that
helped so my big question is is touching the whales bad because we're gonna go
out and hopefully touch them right no the whales want you to touch them
somewhere else will not approach the boats they will not be interested in US
but the whales that come over to the boats they want to be touched and if you
don't touch them enough then they'll leave and they'll go look for another no
they want like a big tissue massage kind of thing
you know that's what makes this place famous it's got the most amazing whales
in the world nowhere else in the world will you do this and once they leave
Mexico they don't want to be touched they're not interested but that's the
behavior that they show you hopefully fingers crossed fingers crowded we got
an awesome squad we are rolling by truck towards the boat because the boat is in
the water and then I guess we jump onto the boat we got all new subscribers
today I'm mainly filling these you fallen you make a bigger splash and we
do get a well this incident they do like noise
whose one on the left I'm so overwhelmed everyone you love well
they're not like my screening
so we've been surrounded by three whales and like anywhere you look along the
horizon you can see the blowhole it's just amazing
crazy crazy crazy I'm I can't speak super lucky to have seen so many whales
here everyone's staring at me as I blogged that's okay
we're decided we're going to go back in for lunch and and then maybe come back
out but the weather has held which is amazing all the whales upset we'll be
back buddy
dude wo wo no it is Wow but I'm saying oh isn't the same thing no different Wow
the point of the conversation is whoa guys are coming to Mexico or maybe you
should book a trip to Mexico yet o neg Rho is the place to see whales it's
amazing I like in Tofino I was so excited to see a whale hundreds of
kilometers away and today all around me there was like hundreds I think we're
gonna call this video we touched it well even though we didn't but you could have
touched a well sure most the time you get such a whale we just learned we're
lucky enough know we're very lucky it's just we didn't get lucky today
we still got lucky they were so playful yeah and it wasn't raining
we're both super happy that we decided to do that this morning the weather was
perfect the whales were perfect everything was amazing the plan for this
afternoon is we're actually gonna load up on a couple groceries we're a little
bit low on inventory and then we're gonna go find a nice low camp spot to
spend the rest of the afternoon nice tonight
hello last place is not even open I guess this is always one option oh let
me go Loran huh man found a little fruity RIA so that's gonna have to work
I think we just need some veg anyway
we're already minutes away from our campsite so we figure we're gonna eat
walnuts in a blender with lentils we're gonna make some kind of meat and then
we're gonna have a cod oh and some toppings and some salsa
just have a classic intox we mix the lentil walnut meat substitute with some
peppers onion and a tomato so that looks bomb and then Becks doing some sides
over here so we've got some spring onion cilantro avocado this is our version of
street tacos one provecho blend provecho
now that our bellies are full we're gonna head back out towards the lagoon
where we found a free camp spot on high Overlander
this road is so bumpy that we actually snapped our table what
oh well that's way less traumatic huh that's way less neurotic it is so bumpy
and our table felt down and it's snap guys look at a poor table literally flip
down and snap the now
- sighs I see gracias so guys apparently these are the largest
salt flats in the world and they export the most amount of salt a lot of that
salt goes to Canada for you guessed it the road road salt which I actually have
a bone to pick with them because just destroys our vehicles over there I leave
it on later guys yes we've arrived at our camping spot for the evening we're
gonna show you guys around and probably take a nap we were up at 6:00 and with
the time change that we just had of one hour it was really 5:00 a.m. our time
and all that excitement with the whales got me really really tuckered up so let
me show you around first we have our own little palapa which is pretty cute I've
seen some people are tenting inside these so that's pretty great because it
would definitely mellow out the wind and then this is the lagoon right here
oh wow you guys probably can't see it but I just saw another what's the word
spray they're spraying and breaching all over the place this is the lagoon that
we were in earlier this morning yeah so pretty cool to do what to set up
like cracker called the croix that's what I call an no I show everyone your
new yeah mix it up yeah I haven't even tested out yet so I'm not sure if it's
gonna work we'll try it oh yeah summer breeze that is the spot what what yeah
yeah uh I don't think I can hold Oh cozy huh yeah not so much
that's nice also me me goes it is that time of day
Oh due for a little snip Becca wanted to cut it but I think she's gonna sabotage
so I'm gonna get it done before she has that opportunity yeah looks pretty good
I wanted to quickly talk to you guys about a point in our relationship which
we are very very different people a lot of the times we get along wow that's not
what I meant to say we always get along and we are usually very similar yes but
when it comes to things like introverted extroverted we are very very different
and I think we've talked about this before but basically I'm like a true and
true extrovert I love being around people I'm thrive by around one of our
own people yeah but I get sick of people easily so I'm love meeting new people
and that guy see them up to me yeah she's a bit more of an introvert like
she can be very extroverted if you guys meet her in public you think wow she's
extremely extroverted but she needs her introverted time so right now we're
telling my cool countess Bob we're doing research on what's next in our trip and
there's this really cool Jeep beside us and we waved at them and they seem cool
David dog come on let's go over we cut some fresh fruit
popcorn like let's go over and you know be good neighbors and she's like means
so introverted I don't get it okay let me let me say my point we were up at
5:00 a.m. this morning we literally were around people all day then we drove an
hour and I drove on this like rickety crazy road to get here so I'm like
loving just being by myself and then you the whole timer life what's the next
project what are we doing next you can't relax right we'll do a poll are you more
like me or you more like back and like tell us about your experiences and are
your partner's the opposite of you and how do you deal with it because just now

were very sweet they're from British Columbia very very
her name was Rebecca as well we definitely bonded it was all good
I'm not saying I don't want to meet new people I'm just saying sometimes I like
to relax and be quiet the first time we've gone to use our half table this is
kind of a nice size actually yeah it's just so crazy it's so short and little I
know it's really easy to get in the huh that's good
maybe I would take it back a little bit yeah I probably probably the next one
doesn't have to be as big as heavy cotton action this dude using velcro to
sand down our new table pretty good what do you think of our 3/4 inch she's we
but I like just depends on the pop oh snap she's for stuff stress and yeah
