Last night we went to a fundraiser at the aquarium. Newport has a very good aquarium. We tried to go there last week when there was a special event- Tuna Day, to celebrate the very active local tuna fishing industry. But the event was way too crowded for us so we left and didn't go in.
We got another opportunity to view the wildlife last night and it was PERFECT! There were only about 100 people at the fundraiser so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. They had fish snacks, and some fish videos. The aquarium has both indoor and outdoor exhibits so I even got a chance to wear one of the new cashmere sweaters that I bought at the Ventura, California flea market. I was thrilled to have an opportunity to wear it.
Here are some photos from the aquarium:

The fundraiser continues tomorrow with a whole day of fish oriented films. We'll go to one or two short films I think. The rest of our week looks pretty busy as well. Sunday we're having two couples over for dinner and a tango lesson (we're giving instead of taking for a change) . Then Monday a couple from Scottsdale are coming to visit for a few days. Then we go to Portland for a few days. A busy week.
