A Day at the Long Beach Aquarium
My grandma was bored and wanted to go somewhere. I didn't know where to go and it was already a bit late, so I decided we should go to the Long Beach Aquarium. I've never been there before, which is sad. It's sort of like the fact that I've never been to Alcatraz, and I lived in the Bay Area for 3-4 years. *siiigh*
I actually really enjoyed the museum. We saw a lot of interesting jelly fish and aquatic life. The ten thousand pictures are as follows.

I think the best part of the aquarium was the Lorikeet cage. Before going in, the woman asked if I wanted to feed them some nectar. It was only a dollar, so I was like, sure thing. Dude, when I walked in there, I was attacked right away. The birds landed on my head and pretty much stayed there for the remainder of the time I was in the cage (a good half hour). They didn't jump on anyone else's head, they stayed away from my grandma, and when my aunt came and fed them, nothing like this happened at all! I was afraid that they were going to crap on me, because I had all these birds on my head, shoulders, stomach, arms, etc. Some of them crapped, but over the side of my arm. Some splattered on my shoe, (unfortunately I was wearing sandals). But, happily, no one crapped on my head. :)
