a Tragedy

Today my thoughts are on Sea World and the horrible tragedy that happened yesterday. An orca grabbed her trainer and pulled her underwater to drown. Since we just had a wonderful experience there on Saturday it’s hard to believe that such an awful thing happened to one of the trainers we saw. Sea World is a remarkable place and we enjoyed our day there. Here are some pictures from the shows we saw. The Shamu show featured orcas who interacted with their trainers. In the third and fourth picture the woman trainer is floating with an orca.

 

The second show we saw was an otter and sea lion show involving a pirate’s treasure. Occasionally the otter would run across the stage with the treasure map.
