The conference is over. And my flight out of Monterey is about to board. I got a chance last night to go to the Aquarium here, which is great. This is a shot in one of the jellyfish tanks. Very amazing. And we were able to ask a whole lot of questions of one of the staff here, who was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastically answered all questions. I learned a lot about jellyfish, which, it turns out are pretty amazing. Turns out they are kind of on the threshold of being animals at all. They have no organs, and hardly any concentration of nerves which could be considered a 'brain' of any kind. So beautiful though. This particular one also happens to be quite poisonous.

Glad you enjoyed Monterey Bob. Next time you are in San Diego we need to check out the tide pools- no otters here, though.
Bob, I have a similar picture of the same Jellies less than a week before! I just returned from taking some time driving up the coast and went through Monterrey. Apparently we were there at the same time!
