And now, some pictures of jellyfish

April 7th, 2008 by arielle

We went to Atlanta. I brought my camera, but forgot it at home every time we went out. We went to the Georgia Aquarium, which was wonderful, though I can’t say I liked how they allow people to touch the stingrays. They removed their stingers and put them in a circular shallow pool where people get to harass them. They avoid the fingers as best they can, and people reach farther down to get at them. And they keep looping around this way, perpetually trying to avoid being touched, stripped of their defenses. It was sad. But we saw whale sharks, and belugas, and enormous Japanese crabs wrestling with each other WWF style. (Check out Rachel’s blog for pictures of these animals.) I took a few pictures of the jellyfish on my camera-phone. It was pretty irresistible.

Thanks to Taylor and Phil for the roof over our heads this weekend. I loved Little Five Points. It was nice to find another neighborhood that I would feel comfortable living in, even if I still can’t necessarily afford it.
