Atlanta, Georgia
June 16, 2009
The Atlanta Aquarium is reported to be the largest in the world. Joan ranks it on the level of the Aquarium in Monterrey. She spent much of the afternoon touring the fantastic collection, some which swam through an overhead tube.
She saw three Beluga whales from the Brooklyn Aquarium in Coney Island through the tanks. The Belugas are the only whales that can bend their necks.
Manta rays, sharks, jelly fish and other assorted specimens were clearly visible. Sea cucumbers, sand sharks and sea anemones were available for Joan to touch but she resisted handling the horseshoe crabs.
