Coastline Treasures

Dolphins are carnivorous marine mammals and relatives of whales and porpoises. Despite their meat-eating habits, they are actually quite friendly, and I was able to swim with two dolphins in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last year. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life.  I thought their skin would be rubbery, but it was soft. 

The dolphins I swam with were well-trained and seemed very contented, performing many tricks, pretending to dance with us or shake our hands, and if you were brave enough, doing a trick where two of them swam in tandem and threw you a few feet across the pool (I did this, too-it was fun). If swimming with a dolphin is something you have always wanted to do and you have the chance, I really recommend it. Of course, the water park sold crystal dolphin figurines, T-shirts, and everything else you can imagine that might have a dolphin on it.
