(This strange Inuit guy and his two partners in crime wandered around the whole park telling people they were going to either (1) marry them (Lisa was an unfortunate victim) or (2) eat them. It was weird and not funny.
To sum up the above, Valencia houses Europe's largest aquarium, which showcases the planet's principal marine ecosystems. The site is divided up into different exhibits, each bearing the name of a different ocean, and we took advantage of this great offering last Saturday morning (though we bought passes that afforded us more than eight hours in the park (aka ALL day), the program directors decided 9 am would be the perfect meeting time. UVA Hispanic Studies coordinating strikes again!

Despite the unfavorable tee time, we were excited to check out one of our city's main attractions (especially after reading Hannah Shatzen's blog about a certain "show" they witnessed in the Arctic (?) Ocean...). Our yawns were quickly mistaken for open-mouthed gazes - I don't remember the last time I went to an Aquarium (embarrassed to admit I still haven't been to the Georgia Aquarium) and it was exciting to be so up close and personal with the sharks, whales, sea horses, cilles, and all the rest.
(Thought there were only humpback whales; hoo knew they came in shark form, too!)

A definite highlight of the trip was the Dolphin Show. I'd never seen one before; nor was my family ever the "vacation to the Bahamas-type," so it was pretty invigorating. The show's premise was a human/dolphin correlation - trying to show that human divers can move just as suavely and beautifully as the animals themselves. Humans were lame but the dolphins were great. ¡Disfrutamos mucho!
HOMBRE! We don't care.
All in all, fun day. Hope everyone is having a good weekend back in the States. Wish me luck with the five midterms!!!
