First Beach Day on the Whale Freeway

It was warm as we set off for our first full beach day in Todos Santos, our beach backpack chairs loaded with lunch, water, and rubber exercise bands. It's a 10-minute walk from El Litro RV park over dusty backroads and trails (that wouldn't be considered legal roads in Canada for anything other than dirt bikes) to the ocean. Along the way we pass a range of Mexican housing - from dilapidated makeshift shelters to million-dollar sea view boutique hotels, vacation rentals and private homes. At the end, we're greeted by the same pounding surf and blissfully empty miles of deep white sand we fell in love with two years ago.

Determined to not lose the hard-fought level of fitness I've earned over the past several months at Orange Theory Fitness, we used our bands to work through a series of body weight exercises before relaxing on our beach chairs to read (Marla) and nap (Andrew). The whales were active today - we saw more than a dozen breach and fluke their tails - as they made their way north or south (?) wherever they were going. Even saw a few flying skates or manta rays sail through the air. All in a hard day's work before returning to our portable home for happy hour!
