More Monterey


We couldn't have asked for better weather last
weekend when we went to Monterey with Teri & Mel.

We walked a couple of miles along the waterfront
and through town; first to lunch, then to the aquarium.

There are really great pedestrian/bike paths along
the water with lots of pretty flowers and foliage.






And of course the ever present harbor seals.

This one looked especially relaxed.

Aquarium

Here are just a few of the strange & wonderful things we saw on Monday at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I'll be posting more (non-aquarium) pictures soon.

Amazing...squid egg cases

Hammerhead shark

all kinds of sea horses

sea dragon (above) and leafy sea dragon (below)

many beautiful species of jellyfish

these are sea nettle jellyfish

giant sea bass (500 pounds!)

starfish & anemones

If you come to visit we can plan to go;
it is a bit expensive...but worth it.
