And we all got to pat Beluga Whales at Marineland this summer LOL

You...you...actually...touched them?

I sat in front of the glass tank at Sea World, hand stretched out, while they made circles so that they could keep swimming past me, making eye contact and smiling. (If some are not familiar with beluga whales, they're the big white ones with the large forheads and the smile.) I heard my husband say "she's communing." I glanced right and saw a rather wide eyed Sea World employee nodding at my husband. I guess the guy never saw anyone commune before.

I'd take the humpback tour here, but I fear it would kill me. Mama humpbacks have a tendency to swim up to the boat, check it out, then go and guide their baby up to meet the funny people. Nowhere else on the planet does a mother animal introduce their babies to humans. Usually, they take a distinctly hostile attitude. Witnessing a species that not only tolerates humans but brings up their young would make my heart burst.

You actually touched beluga whales???? Nick, I'm not an envious person. I've never envied houses, cars, money, trips...anything. I envy this.

I have to go repent now.
