Today we went to the aquarium after lunch at Starbucks. The same Egyptian guy waited on us. He gave Mark an empty cup again. Mark said "Empty again!" The guy said, "AGAIN?"
Before we went into the aquarium, we went to their dolphin show. First they had a little bit with their sea lions. Then the dolphins started. It was very good. It was very hot. Before the show, some of the dolphins just layed in the water not moving like they were very hot too. Then the trainers blew a whistle and the dolphins livened up.
This poor little boy looked terrified. They put him in the boat and tried to get him to touch a dolphin and he wouldn't do it. I expected him to smile after he was done but he did not smile at all! All of the announcing was done in Arabic. There was a group of school girls there like they were on a field trip. There were probably 30 of them and they looked to be high school age.
Moe said that the announcer said that these were Saudi Arabian dolphins. Yesterday when Moe was SCUBA diving he could hear some clicking noises and whines. He knew that there were dolphins nearby.
I always hesitate to take pictures of the women because I'm afraid if they see me they will say something to me. I'm more likely to do it behind their backs! Almost all of the women cover their hair. Not half, but a good many cover everything but their eyes. I am surprised at how many cover their whole face. Those women seem kind of scary to me. The aquarium was nice. They had quite a few sharks and some nice tanks with coral that looked a lot like what we saw yesterday, but I think the coral was fake.
We finally left because we were done and because it was so hot, even in the air conditioning.
We went to the Red Sea Mall and walked around for a while. There are so many designer stores around here. When we left the mall, we went to Uncle Marv's house and watched last week's finale of "Splash" and last week's episode of "Survivor." Then we went to supper at Benihanas.
