Whee, I'm back!
New Orleans is exhausting. And fun. And a complete tourist trap, and expensive, and obnoxious. But fun. I finally visited the Audobon Aquarium of the Americas, the website for which highlights the obvious draws such as sharks, frogs, and jellyfish, but completely leaves out the one critter that everyone leaves the aquarium talking about, the leafy seadragon. The photos don't really do them justice - you have to see them fluttering through the water to really appreciate the oddness and beauty of these critters.
