"If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." -- Loren Eiseley
Got up yesterday morning and went to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
It is an amazing place. Several huge saltwater tanks, I think linked to the open Pacific. Smaller tanks full of swimming jellyfish. Open shallow tanks like the inter-tidal zone. Pools with sea otters playing (and eating ice cubes -- sea otters love ice cubes -- who knew?)
There were lots of sharks. Leopard sharks, reef sharks, even hammerheads. The sharks were no problem, they were well fed and behind glass. The only thing that really took a bite out of us was admission tickets -- but they were worth it!
