The Aquarium

I've been pretty busy so am very slow in posting this blog.  Last month I met up with really good friends Tiri and Brian who I met when I lived in Queenstown, NZ, too long ago to mention the year ;)

I have since lived in Kyoto, Japan and here in Vancouver, and done a bunch of traveling in between.  Tiri and Brian have based themselves in both Auckland, NZ and Wellington, NZ and done a whole heap of traveling in Europe and the States. Although we try to catch up when we are both in NZ, we figured out that hadn't seen each other for about 6 or so years!  Unbelievable!

Tiri, Brian and their kids were passing through Vancouver to Vernon where they were basing themselves for a month of skiing.

We met up at one of my favourite places - the Vancouver Aquarium.  I took a ton of photos, and here are a few of my favs....

The wonderful Beluga.....

Sea Lion - I'm not sure if we were watching them or they were watching us.....

The folk at the Aquarium have some great shows - they are both educational and fun...

Sierra in with the frogs....

Turtle - he was fabulous - such a big, old beauty....

The jellyfish were amazing!

Maz was just mesmorised.....

These little guys were the freakiest things there - they hover in the water and catch their food as it floats by.  It was kind of like watching synchronised swimming....

And last, but certainly not least, the shy guy of the aquarium.  Such a beauty, but so shy....

I can't wait till the next Aquarium visit!
