hello hello hello
i know i haven’t written in a while, and that’s because i had a pretty big change happen two weeks ago. last i wrote, we were in san carlos taking guests on for the trip back to la paz. i spent those few days in mag bay playing in the sand dunes and looking for whales. we had the most amazing experience with whales while leaving san jose del cabo on january 30 – the whales played with our ship for almost 2 hours, just swimming around us and under us, flipping and flirting. it was surreal.
but anyway, my big change is that i am back in kansas city. my knee had been giving me a lot of trouble for a few weeks in mexico, and i finally went to the american hospital in cabo and had an MRI done. the upshot was that the office called the ship and recommended that i be sent home in order to get proper medical treatment and some r&r. i flew home that saturday and have been here since. it’s a huge shock to my system – from 80 degree weather to 30 degree weather and nothing to do (people are mad at me for saying that, so maybe i should come up with something to do?)
i’ve been to a few doctors and am awaiting the results of a second MRI that they did here. i’ve got my fingers crossed that i will be able to head back to mexico by march 2.
