Birthday Week

Birthday Week

by Ricardo Ponce

Hi! 


I’m glad to share with you my first camp report, this is
my first season at Campo Cortez, and from the first step you make on this
wonderful lagoon, you feel the special vibe of this place, it’s something magical.





People talk a lot about the experience of having a close
encounter with one of these big mammals, each experience is completely
different, but sometimes the sensation is indescribable, the tranquility shared
from these majestic creatures is translated to the many varieties of “methods”
that come from our heart to try to make a link or a certain communication with
them.


 Its birthday week for some of our friends in the camp, mine
also included, and the rain of gifts didn’t wait for too long, here you
exchange the material gifts for unforgettable
experiences. Carolyn is visiting us for
third year (that should say something good about the magic of the lagoon) now
with all her family members, and like if something planned, in one of the trips
she had the opportunity of being visited and kissed by one of the beautiful
whales!!! What a Gift! They are a lovely family and the whales love them too.
 

The vibe around the camp is just amazing, it really feels
like a birthday party.


Another example happened to me, I had the chance to witness
on my birthday a truly incredible moment when a group of the kids in the camp
started to sing and like if they were using a magic spell or they were reading
the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a beautiful calf started to get closer and closer, I
was just amazed at how they made that connection.



Yes! The birthdays here are very special!
Also, if that wasn’t enough, we all had our own birthday
cakes, made and decorated by Elsa, one of our lovely cooks, and of course the
decoration was with a lot of beautiful whales!
Here is my first report of the season (hope of many haha)
see you next time.
 Kind Regards Ricardo

 Stay Tuned!
