(Baja) California Dreamin: Wednesday, 6/27
June 25, 2012
2 min readOne minute, you’re snorkeling with colorful parrotfish — the next, you’re surrounded by sea lions, then watching gray whale mothers and their calves perform aquatic arabesques around your kayak.
Are you lost in a Wyland mural? Nope — just afloat with National Geographic Expeditions off incomparable Baja California in Bahía Magdalena and the Sea of Cortez.
Jacques Cousteau called these waters a “living aquarium,” and you’ll see why if you join Nat Geo photographer Ralph Lee Hopkins for a virtual expedition this Wednesday (June 27) from 8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT.
