Whales this weekend?

No, sadly, no baleen whales this weekend. We did see a bunch of dolphins on Sunday, including a superpod of common dolphins. A superpod is a congregation of pods, which can contain 1,000+ dolphins. Think like this:


Also, some people on the cruises have no concept of geography whatsoever. The first was a six-year-old girl -- who can be forgiven because of her age -- who asked, "Is that Hawaii?" when she saw the oil islands in Long Beach Harbor. That was pretty cute, I have to admit. What was not cute, was the middle aged couple who pointed to the shore we'd left an hour earlier and asked, "Is that an island?!" No, um, that's where we started.

In more exciting news, Look Around You is tomorrow night! I'm hoping if I stand in line early enough I can get in, since I missed the online sign up for free reservations. Sigh.


Maths!
