Indy and Aqua

Friday we went to the City of Arts and Science to the temporary Indiana Jones Exhibition. It was an exciting way to learn fact vs. fiction about the movies and what archaeologist have discovered. We went through the event with a video tablet guide. At each station in the exhibition, we found clips from the movies, facts about props, artifacts from real archaeological digs, and clips explaining fact and fiction in the movies. You would have loved it Dad!

In the afternoon we went to the Oceanografic. It is an amazing above and below ground aquarium and bird sanctuary. We saw penguins, seals, sea lions, walruses, beluga whales, sharks, tropical fish, and an incredible dolphin show. They have two tunnels that you can walk through the aquariums and see fish, sharks, and rays swim directly above you. There were two dolphin shows that we went to; One during the day, where the dolphins did tricks with their trainer to music and the other was at night. The night show had a routine with synchronized swimmers and the dolphins. The show was to bring awareness to the fact that humans effect the oceans and we all need to do our part to slow and reverse the effect of climate change.
