Photos from the Western Canada Tour

What a sweet puppy Birdie is! Especially when food is a possibility!




A rare photo showing Sam as a dignified cat!




A trip to Vancouver would not be complete without lots of yummy food! Here is the partial spread for hot pot night.




The Baltimore Aquarium is at the Inner Harbor and has much to see. We especially enjoyed 'meeting' Calypso, the rescued green sea turtle who lost a front flipper due to hypothermia. The seahorses were also fantastic - we witnessed a female depositing eggs into her mate's pouch (they pair-bond for life), while another male had just released a score of baby seahorses! They were tiny, nearly transparent things floating about in the tank. We came back an hour later and they were noticeably larger, although we're unsure as to how these babies could grow, given the lack of baby food. This photo shows patrons outside the aquarium during a fire alarm.
