Under the Sea

Here is a photo of the coral reef at The Living Seas at EPCOT. In the lower left hand corner is a beautiful green and blue fish. There are others in the photo but you would have to enlarge the photo to see them. Just click on the photo to do so.

On Tuesday, January 24th, we spent the day at EPCOT. On our last few visits, we have missed The Living Seas, but daughter, Michelle, informed us that the area had been redone and it was worth a visit. Well, I fell in love with the place. The aquarium has ceiling to floor windows so you are up close and personal with the fish. I was trying to track down a sea turtle but he remained elusive. I was able to get a number of good photos and wish I could share them all. The only way that Mel could pull me away was to show me the manatee pool so I spent some time there but couldn't get any good pictures.

There is an interactive show, Turtle Talk With Crush, based on a character from Finding Nemo. On the screen, you could see Crush, the animated character, and the dude was able to talk to the children in the audience and answer their unscripted questions. How'd they do that? Amazing!

From The Sea, we went to The Land so we could ride Soarin' again and we able to do so twice, another amazing ride. Then, we took a leisurely ride on Living With The Land, a boat ride through Disney greenhouses, where they experiment growing fruits and vegetables under a variety of conditions. We finished off our visit to EPCOT with a movie, The Circle of Life, about ecology and man's impact on the environment.

Once we returned to the campsite, we took my pearls to the Fort Wilderness Outpost and FedX'd them to Michelle for repair. Mel was still raring to go so he took himself to see the movie, Underworld, a vampire flick, not my cup of tea.
