Panama Canal - Jan 10, 2020 Puerto Vallarta

Panama Canal  
Jan 10, 2020 
Puerto Vallarta
Dolphin Experience



This is a return visit to Puerto Vallarta

The harbor is beautiful


This beautiful beach is in easy walking distance from the pier

Pirate ship is a popular attraction


On the road to our shore excursion tour, we passed this small sculpture with another of Neptune on the building
Dolphin Adventure was part of a large commercial resort



An eager crew awaits meeting the dolphins

Mike Ewing is a life long friend of Bob's.
He and his wife Janet have traveled with Bob and Theresa quite a bit since Mike retired a couple of years ago



The dolphins play and swim while we wait



These animals are very powerful!
We couldn't believe how high they could leap out of the water! 

"Our" dolphin allowed us to feel the skin on her tail . . .  

. . .  and back . . . 
. . . and belly! Our hostess said this is very difficult to teach the animals because it violates every survival instinct they have! 


Our dolphin "dances" with us

Our dolphin nuzzles with us


Our dolphin "smiles" with us!

Our Hostess asked us to stand close to the wall and the dolphins did a high speed swim by. 
We also bought the video but it is a huge file! If I can figure out how to edit it for length and resolution, I'll try to post it.

(BTW: If you decide to do this, be advised the photos & video cost more than the admission ticket!) 

Back on the ship, Theresa Nuzzles the little sea lion statue

Olympic Gymnast Lance Ringnald returned to the stage for a short program, part motivational speaker . . .  



. . .  part skills display 

He shared the stage with a Spanish comedian/musician.
His rendition of the typewriter song was very funny

Tomorrow - Hualtuco, Mexico
