Hi,
I think the Monterey bay Aquarium is first aquarium I have been to. I am sure it is the first time For Mindal and Jannaeus, and maybe also for Atzva 🙂
The aquarium is a beautiful and amazing place, and the jellyfish sector with the colorful creatures. The sandy shore area and rocky shore sea area are built great.
I cannot pass by without looking on the building structure: the roof and the truss crossing the building from side to side in the middle of the building are remarkable.
Ironiclly the aquarium is built where a Cannery was operating and making sardines cans out of the fish the place now hold and preserve.
To get there we drove along road 1 which is a great panoramic view road. Atzva and I already drove along the Northern part of it in our *honey moon*, and now we completed also the Southern part.
It was nice as we see elephant seals lying on the beach fighting and calling to each other. We also had the chance to see couple of more bridges and enjoy the view (although it was mostly foggy).
Take Care
