July 15 A day at the aquariumIt may be small but the Birch Aquarium is really interesting. There's also a great view of the Pacific Ocean. I've included some pictures in a new album called Aquarium.
Notes on the new album:
Interesting greeting isn't it?
There a couple of beach shots taken from an observation point at the rear of the aquarium as well as some surfers. The little dots on the water in the shots "Surfers" are indeed surfers. Surfing must not have been good as about an hour later they were gone.
I had never heard of a Dragonfish before today. It really does look like a dragon and seems to be growing leaves but they're a combination of fins and camouflage. The one called Dragonfish 2 is indeed 2 dragonfish. Neat, huh?
The "Lion Fish" is also venomous. There should be no inference made from the fact that it's now the background for Judith's desktop on her computer. It's just a nice picture.
On the way back we had a big, big lunch at a place called Souplantation. All you can eat soup and salad. About 6 different soups , 4 different breads, and a salad bar about 30 feet long. All for just under $8 each. Right now we're just sitting around, pants undone, doing a bit of moaning. It was very easy to overeat.
Back to work and exercising tomorrow. Too bad. But it was a nice weekend off. Next day off is back to Balboa Park and one of the museums. Every Tuesday two or three of the museums have free admission then the next Tuesday a different two or three. Same for the third and fourth. If there's a fifth Tuesday in the month then nothing is free. There are several all-the-time-free exhibits as well. It's a great place to visit.
More later from our next adventure. TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://ourmexicanadventure.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!C2E85A51351BC4F6!379.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
