OREGON COAST AQUARIUM - Newport, Oregon

I don't know where to start with this day...so I will begin at the beginning.  First a trip to downtown Newport.  Fred Meyers has replaced "Wally World".  The Oregon Aquarium in Newport was a place we visited today.  Our goal was to see the Deep Water Passage that is a underwater sea world.  You are able to see underwater life in the true sense of "as it's happening".  The pictures above are two of many, many taken.  We were under water in a passage with sharks and other fish swimming above and around us.  What you see are two great white sharks in hot persuit of other fish in the sea.  Although there were several shark species, the great whites are by far the most intriquing.  We spent about a hour and a half with our "ooos" and "ahhhhs" before leaving for our next adventure.  Around the corner from the Aquarium is a great place to shop that reflects a pirate theme.  We took pictures of the pirates and some of the shops visited.  After much playing, we went back to the RV park for a bar-b-que...oh what fun.  Paul and Gina "bar-b-qued" corn, ribs, hamburger, hotdogs, hotlinks and veggies; and Larry and I made dessert...an 'ole' fashioned banana pudding.  It was hard to move after consuming so much food.  Oh...today was a very beautiful day!
