Today we went to the aquarium in Genova that everybody says you have to see. In short version, it was super cool, but I'm not going to stop at the short version.
When we got in, the first thing we saw that caught our eye was a giant fish tank. It was huge!

The next thing that we went over to look at was a giant map of the world showing the different depths of the sea at different points. One of the things I noticed was that right around Peru in South America on the west coast it was just a straight drop off the edge of the beach right into an underwater valley. I thought it would be interesting to live on the beach right before the underwater cliff.
Eventually we got to the penguins (of course) and my sister and I went crazy. There were an uncountable number of active penguins swimming around in a frenzy. The funniest part of being there was that there was a female penguin trying to barf up something and the males were all crowding her like "C'mon lady we don't have all day to be fed!" So she turned around and jumped into the water, of course, the males followed her and that played what looked like a game of chase.
One thing that I didn't know was that a way you can distinguish a cetacean from a fish is that cetacean has a horizontal tail and fish have a vertical tail.
We saw some seals and dolphins, and there was even a toy that a dolphin was playing with.

Overall, today was an awesome day and I hope that everybody could have an experience like I did.
