Today was Sea World day. Just like yesterday, the day was kind of gray and drizzly, but that worked for us because there were less people and thus – less lines (it was a Sunday, and we were afraid it would be crowded).
We got there just as they opened (can you detect a pattern?) and were a little surprised at the price of the ticket (about $50 per person), but we didn't let that stop us.
We went to all the shows: we watched Shamu and his family, we watched the sea lion show, and we watched the dolphin show. Those animals are amazing, and as you can see in the photo they can jump really (really!) high. Also they're really cute. We saw some weird fish like white arctic whales (that have necks, unlike the killer whales) and Commerson's Dolphins, which are black and white and like to swim upside down.
We rode some roller coasters and got quite wet, and we got to touch Ray fish and Bottlenose Dolphins.
Don't be surprised to see some horse photos. The Anheuser-Bush beer company, that sponsors Sea World, has a team of Clydesdale horses (the second largest breed of horses in the world) that pull it's beer wagon and some of them are kept in the park (along with a tiny donkey that did a TV commercial with the horses).
One last comment: if you want to be a sea world trainer you have to be blonde, white and have a name like Gretchen, Liz or Stephanie. If you're a Maria, a Lucia or a Juanita, you'll probably be selling ice cream or cleaning the toilets…
