The Monterey Aquarium. The city of Monterey is beautiful and seemingly rich. The houses along the shoreline are worth the drive. The famous Pebble Beach Golf Course is there. The Aquarium is hard to find. At the end, following the signs will lead you past it. Look for its blue logo to your right, not its name, as you approach the busiest downtown area from the northern loop. If you find yourself back in a residential area, you've gone too far. The Aquarium has a new Great White. It's female and quite young. Some of the other exhibits include sea otters, penguins, jelly fish, seahorses (one of Mike's favorites) and lots of stuff for all ages. The best way to show you the exhibits are through videos, but they are so memory intensive that I had to pick just a few to give you a sense of the place. Sorry about no pictures of the Great White. She stayed on the bottom of a very large tank which was dark and no flashes were allowed. US 1 along the coast with its cliffs and curves is not for the faint-hearted.
