When I'm not working......

.....I'm still at the aquarium!! Or at least in Mystic. On Tuesday I went for a wander around the quaint little town. I cant get over how insanely nice everyone is around here. They smile and say hello to total strangers. I am definitely not in the "fuck you state" anymore. As I was wandering I stumbled upon a coldstone!!!!! I have not had the wonderfullness of the creamy chunky amazingness in over a year....its the little things in life. I also explored a large cemetery near Mystic Seaport. I found a bench overlooking the river and found it to be amazingly peaceful. Yes, I am a freak who finds peace with the deceased (haha that kinda rhymes). Unfortunately this peace was soon shattered when I discovered that my credit card had escaped from my possession:( But then everything was alright again when I wandered around New London and found the river and train station (I am still perplexed by people saying hi to me, I don't know these people, what do they want from me? Do they know something that I don't? Is there something in the water here? Is Jersey really just the nastiest state in the world in which everyone just hates everyone that the don't, or even do, know?)

On Friday I spent the day at the aquarium. I wandered around it taking pictures of all the exhibits and, of course, the whale feedings. At lunch time I tagged along with the trainers to a cute little pizza place and had some fantastic bbq pizza which Alyssa introduced me to. After the 130 session Sasha broke out her guitar and Kate broke out her voice for a jam out sessions for the whales and Kodiak the massive stellar sea lion. All in all it has been a great week. I am loving everything about being here (except for sirens at night and boring days off). Can't wait for tomorrow!!!
