Sea World Field Trip


Went to Sea World with my classes today....tired...pictures tomorrow. Good night.

Here's those pictures I promised...We saw the penguins being fed, manatee feeding, fed seals and sea lions, rode the Atlantis ride, played at Shamu's Harbor play area, and saw the dolphin show. Not too bad for a half day...
You know while watching the dolphin show and seeing the 5 female trainers, I was reminded of my friend Christiane Covington who was the first female dolphin trainer at the San Diego Sea World over 25 years ago. She volunteered for over a year before being allowed to work with the dolphins. I don't know if she was ever paid at all. I admire the dedication she showed working so long with no reward to attain that goal.
