Monterey Bay

Published by vetmichael at 3:44 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

For those who have never been there, Monterey Bay Aquarium is perhaps one of the best aquariums in the wolrd, hands down. The interesting thing is that it is build in and near old canneries that used to process fish during the early part of the 20th century. This is the famous Cannery Row written about by John Steinbeck; there are placards and signs everywhere reminding you of the prolific and iconic author. The canneries closed up shop when the sardines were fished to near extinction and left nasty, rusty, hulking frames all along Cannery Row. Monterey, however, decided to take these lemons and make some awesome lemonade; the canneries now house shops, restaurants, and the Aquarium. I have some video I wanted to share with you, shot with my own camera as I wondered at the awesomeness of the aquarium; I hope you like. First up, Fish, lots of them (including sharks, tuna, mahi mahi and a few other surprises):

Sorry its a little dark
