Sharks

 I lived along the Gulf coast for several years, in a city with amazing seafood and a renowned aquarium. Fishing is an industry there, not just for sport. More about the city is coming on Letter V day. 

Because of the Gulf and the aquarium, images of sharks were common around the beach area. I wish I had more in my photo collection from Veracruz, or El Puerto as it is commonly known. These are pictures of the sharks I took in the aquarium.

As you walk through, you can go under the tanks and see all kinds of fish varieties swimming above you.

You can also see sharks as you walk next to the tanks. These two guys are taking a rest from all that swimming for company.

The aquarium draws tourism to the city. It's one of the best I've seen. At the entrance, a sculpture of dolphins in motion greets people.

At my favorite neighborhood restaurant, La Palapa Perea, the shark is front and center. Can you see it?

And another one painted on the wall. This guy looks like Bruce from Finding Nemo.

The menu at this restaurant is amazing. When I have guest visiting, it's a big favorite. Breakfast, lunch or dinner--it's all delicious at the Shark Restaurant, as my young grandson named it.
