Photo Diary: Sea World San Diego [1]

Yes, I know—some people don’t like Sea World. But they do a lot of educational work, and they are also one of the largest marine mammal and sea turtle rescue organizations in the US.
Alas, the parks, along with Busch Gardens, were bought a while back by some Wall Street investment firm, so now they are trying to appeal to teenagers with thrill rides, and focusing less on marine animals. And the price has gone up and up and up.
But they still do good work, and I still had a good time.
Some photos from a visit.
