Travel Log: January 20, 2001

It was foggy and very early in the morning. “NO pillows and NO Starbucks,“ said the stern man. It took hours and hours (actual only three) to get there.  Then as we were out in the middle of nowhere, we got lost. Then we had to rely on a map.  It felt like we were never going to get there. We could not sleep, for there were NO pillows! We finally drove into the parking lot of Monterey Bay Aquarium . . .

We walked down the stairs to go talk to an otter trainer. We saw her taking one of the otters back to the tank and asked if we could speak to her, and she said,” Yes, I just have to put Roscoe back in the tank.” Then as we were just sitting down on a bench a young lady came out and said,” Are you the group who wants to interview a Sea Otter trainer?” And we said,”Yes, we are,” and then we started the interview. Her name is Laura Kovalek. That was the first question we asked. She became a marine biologist because she says there is so much you can learn about the ocean, and she has wanted to work with Sea Otters ever since she was a little girl. Then we asked her some more questions. Then it was time for her to go, so we took a picture with her, and then we were on our way to collect more facts about sea otters.

 

Then we had lunch, and Mr. Rasner and his wife went to Bubba Gump's(best lunch spot in Monterey Bay). When it was about 3:00 we ran into one of the other sea otter trainers who’s name was Forest. She said we could interview her after she fed the otters. After she was done feeding the otters she came back out, and we asked if our coach, Mr. Rasner, could go inside the sea otter exhibit to take some up close pictures, and she said yes. Then after Mr. Rasner was through taking pictures we went home. All in all it was a great day, and we got a lot of information. It was a great trip!
