One of my fond memories from the Baltimore Aquarium trip with the family is this sea turtle. I learned the name today was Calypso because I saw a few news clips that she has passed away. These two shots were taken a decade ago on a visit there.

While some might consider these underwater zoo’s, I think they do more to inspire wonder and respect for the wildlife that lives in the sea. I encourage anyone who visits Baltimore to see this site. I think its time for another family visit soon. Now that there are young ones again in the family it will be lots of fun.
