The Aquarium in San Sebastian

One of the very best aquariums we've ever seen. There is a HUGE tank that surrounds you, so you can watch fish swim over, under and around you without ever getting wet. For me -- and you know how I feel about sharks -- the ability to see a shark swimming two inches from my face, knowing it couldn't see me or try to bite me, was exhilarating. I watched one breathe for several seconds, quiet, just hanging out above me. The kids loved it, but Raf and I were equally mesmerized. I had no idea that this place was here and am grateful that the weather was too cold for a beach day, otherwise we may have missed it!

The Bermuda Aquarium and Zoological Society

We've learned that there are several things at the Bermuda Aquarium and Zoo in Flatts Village that do bite:

See this little guy? He came right up to my sister and me, chirping, looking all cute, only a few inches away from us, no zoo keeper in sight. If only I hadn't read the sign, well, I might have tried to pet him....

Looks like he's not the only one, either. That cute seal that came up and head-bobbed at us? Apparently, he's a biter, too...

We saw a hillbilly fish, too. What's up, toofa?
