6/23 You’ve heard about Cannery Row, well that has been turned into a tourist attraction which contains a lot of restaurants and gift shops and at the end of it all there is one of the finest aquariums that we have ever visited. It cost a pretty penny to get in, so instead of paying the entry fee, we joined and now we can visit anytime. After all, it’s only about 25 miles from us. They do change the exhibits occasionally and the current big attraction are “Exotic Jellies” which are Jelly Fish from all over the world.
Watching these Jelly Fish swim through the water is mesmerizing and we could just stand there all day watching the dance. These were just a few of the many species throughout the exhibit. This was just the start of an amazing day.
Another of the favorite spots for folks to sit and watch were the otters. It seems they never run out of time to play. Do you think it’s because they know they have an audience? To be honest, I’ve seen them out in the bay far enough away that I’m sure they don’t know they have people watching and they seem to do the same antics as they do in the tank at the aquarium. I wonder if they ever grow up.
We continued on through the Aquarium and enjoyed many more of the exhibits including Kelp Beds, Penguins, many schools of fish of which I would love to show some pictures, but alas I put the camera in my pocket and just enjoyed the views so I have none to show you. It looks like we have to go back, now that we are members, and take some more pictures to share. Oh yes, before I put the camera away I did capture some species that had escaped and were running loose. They happened to be trapped on one of the outside balconies and I did capture these photos. I believe they are referred to as Homo Sapiens Aged.
