around in swimsuits and wetsuits. Hil and I snorkeled with San Diego Bike and Kayak Tours - basically we rented snorkeling gear and walked down the street to the beach where a guide (with very nice abs) showed us where to snorkel if we wanted to see certain things. Our plan was to snorkel with leopard sharks, who use the shallow waters of La Jolla cove during their summer mating season, and we saw plenty of them, plus some shovelnose guitar fish and a few others I don't know the names of. One fish kept following me and getting really close to m
y camera! It looked like he was trying to smile for it! The leopard sharks are very shy, so they made underwater photography more difficult than it already was (there was a glare so it was hard to tell what I was shooting.)The water was also very cold.
Make that VERY cold. Considering the outside temperature was under 70 degrees, the water had to be at least in the 60s. It was soon very clear why we were in full 
wetsuits! We snorkeled for a few hours before I looked up to ask Hilary where she wanted to swim to - only to discover her lips were turning blue! Needless to say we headed for shore.It's no wonder people choose that little cove as a vacation spot though. I could have spent a weekend there easy just hanging out by the beach and snorkeling and kayaking around the cove.
