Monterey Aquarium

 We have been in Monterey for a couple of days and on a rainy afternoon decided to go to the aquarium.  The building itself started out as an old shut-down sardine cannery on Cannery Row but has been expanded greatly through the years.  Their collections center around what lives in Monterey Bay and along all of the Pacific coast.

A sea otter happily shows off for people.


One of their most beautiful sets of collections are the jelly fish. They range broadly in size and color and are so delicate and complex to watch.

Beautiful to watch as they move.

The bay is home to octopi and we got to watch them close up here.  They  seem to be looking back.


It was a beautiful visit!
