Summer Vacation at the Aquarium
Just the other day, or maybe not so early after all, I took my summer vacation and went to Sendai.
Why Sendai?
Well, I wanted to go somewhere a bit cooler up north but not too far away, so I chose Sendai.
And it was a great choice, especially for the food. Everything was delicious.
Even though I'm not a big fan of raw seafood (like sushi), I ate plenty of sashimi, sushi, crab, and oysters. Not raw, but I also enjoyed some beef tongue.
There's a nice hot spring a short bus ride away too, and it made me want to live in Sendai.
Speaking of Sendai, most people think of Date Masamune. I like him too, mainly because of the historical dramas.
However, today I want to share some memorable creatures I encountered on the last day of my trip at the Sendai Umino-Mori Aquarium.
Whenever I visit an aquarium, I always make sure to see the penguins. This aquarium has four types: Humboldt, Rockhopper, Cape, and King penguins.
Above is the King penguin, and below is the Rockhopper penguin.
Now, here are some other sea creatures I liked.
Finally, there's the Leopard Moray Eel. It’s interesting how creatures from the sea can have patterns like a giraffe or a leopard.
Honestly, I like aquariums, but this time I went just to kill some extra time. I ended up encountering such fascinating creatures that stirred my emotions. Aquariums are really wonderful.
I hope these creatures might even inspire some design ideas.
