Her mother was so happy that she swam up to the surface and jumped through the air. They traveled a lot during the day.

"Don't worry my dear. They are just fine," Nicole said. "Are we there yet?" asked the baby whale. "No, my dear, but at Rincon you will meet new friends." Suddenly, Nicole saw the Puerto Rico coast. She cried, "Heidy, Heidy, come here and look. Do you see that pretty lighthouse? We're here!" During their visit, Heidy and Nicole had a lot of fun. They had hot water  baths and plenty of sun.
