A Fishy Day

The week was topped off with a break from packing to the GA Acquarium with Carrie and Ryan. Here's some pictures from the trip mostly from the tank with the whale sharks since that was the most exciting!

It's very exciting to be crammed in a small enclosed tube with lots of people when a whale shark goes over your head and the volume doubles from all the "oooh!'s and ahhh!'s"...

Here's a school of rays, there's a bunch of them in the big tank, it's about the size of a football field.


Here's Carrie (can you find her?) with Ralph... or Norton... we don't know which. Hard to believe these guys are just young sharks. They came from Thailand where a bunch of fishermen were keeping them in a sea pen.

And for a more close up view...

And here's my friend the sea turtle. He winked at me, really he did! Carrie saw it too!
