Monterey Trip

I went to Monterey California last week for work and got away for a few hours on my last full day there and went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Point Lobos State Reserve.  The aquarium is a really world class facility and what little I had time to see of Point Lobos was really great.  Here are some pictures and videos that I took.

The aquarium was having a special jellyfish exhibit, which was really awesome because I think jellyfish are one of the coolest creatures under the sea, as you can probably tell from my video.

"I see you!"

"Boo!"

They seemed to have a small exhibit dedicated to the different varieties of "sideways fish."

Awesome.

Big turtle!

I'm not going to bore you with the many pictures I took for Liz at the reserve, but I'll tell you these sea lions had to be having wild sex for all the noise they were making.  There is too much wind for the mic to really pick it up, but trust me you could hear it for a clear mile away.

Picture taken to the sound of sea lion porking.

Here are some panoramic pictures.  Close to 180 degrees each at two different locations.
