Following on Rob's "Wales" post, I thought I'd share a different type of "whales" from our trip (and a couple of dolphins frolicking by the boat). Not great pics -- boy, is it hard to capture those things, when they pop up all over the place, and people are yelling at you, "Over there! Turn around!" and you turn around to find the tail just disappearing under the water. I actually saw two whales jump out of the water, for the first time ever while whale-watching, but of course had no hope of getting the camera to my eye at those moments. But they will remain forever in my memory --
