Finally, another post


I don't know why its been so long since I have posted anything. Its been nearly four months. I guess even though I have had stuff to say, I just can really put it into words like I would like. I have done a few things since the last post. I have gone to Texas to see family again, went to San Antonio, went to Las Vegas again, and went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium last weekend.


Here are some pictures from the Riverwalk. There are a whole lot of restaurants and shops along the whole way of this. I was walking around a lot and even took a boat tour of the area.











And the Alamo:















Here are a couple of the garden behind the Alamo. I couldn't go in the first day, because it was too late. It was so dang hot there in San Antonio... in the high 90s with an equal amount of humidity. I did my best but had to go indoors after only a while outdoors. The short time I spent there was great and would like to go again sometime.












Now onto the aquarium. I have been to the area a lot, but mostly for work. This was my first visit to the Monterey Aquarium. I have been to Steinhart in San Francisco, but that was over 20 years ago.

Here are some pictures of the different types of jellyfish at the aquarium. These are so interesting they way they were moving.. just pulsing along and moving around the tank, and all the different kinds that there were.










The Kelp Forest Tank










and finally a pair of anenomes. These are two of the brighter colored ones.
