Hey Monterey!






I recently spent an awesome 2 days visiting Monterey. I hadn't been there in quite a number of years and going back always requires a trip to the aquarium to see the unusual sea otters. My dear friend and I were take-in with these little "sea dogs". We were fortunate to catch feeding time when we reached the aquarium. Can I just say the fur on these amazing animals is so water repellent that you can actually see it up close! The sea otters are native to the northern west coast and their fur was so hunted that they just about became extinct. The aquarium has been able to provide a sanctuary for the sea otters and many informative programs about them.
Another amazing site at the aquarium are the jelly fish! My eyes were just about popping out while watching several of these exotic jelly fish doing their "dance" in the water. I was able to video these amazing creatures and it doesn't come to actually seeing them in person.

AMAZING! I love those jellyfish. What a beautiful color, too. I wish you had taken a longer video, I could watch that all day. Did you put the video up on YouTube? It would be great there.
