There is a big aquarium in Gijon, and since we had no plans for Saturday-we decided to go check it out. After I got all excited about the otters and the other fish, Greg told me that he was told there are no live animals at the aquarium (how mean is that?!) and so I got online to see if there were pictures on the website, which I found, but he stuck to his story that they were staged photographs. The aquarium is on the west side of town, we walked by the San Lorenzo beach, and the harbor.. and we found another beach! We stopped for ice cream (this happens a lot) and finally made it to the aquarium. Which was awesome! For such a small town it was really impressive. They had it set up so you walked through all the different oceans-starting with the Cantabrian Sea (where we are) and through the Atlantic, the Indian, the Red Sea, and much more. It was great, and all the animals were alive! The exhibits were awesomely designed, some had ship wrecks, and others were big caves, Greg's favorite was an exhibit at the end that was just full of trash, to show you what ends up in the ocean that shouldn't, he loved it so much he had to take a picture. A lot of the exhibits also had little bubbles so you could go under and look into the water, here's a picture of Greg in the otter exhibit:
It also happened to be Brian's birthday, so we went to their apartment for dinner (homemade!), Jodie cooked meatloaf and scalloped potatoes. And we watched the Dog Whisperer... our favorite dog trainer, next to Victoria Stilwell..
