shootingstar that sounds great but we won't have bikes and will have very limited packing space, so we may not even have closed toe shoes (aside from motorcycle boots) in the event we could rent bikes. I will definitely try to figure out how to get out there, though, even for a walk on some of it. We will definitely have to find the gelato and coffee places....
any other suggestions welcome!

Hey MP when are you coming? I'll send you a list of gelato spots.
My husband is a gelato-maniac. Oh, and check these guys out: http://cleanhotdry.com/ There is quite a coffee culture in town now.
DO go to the aquarium. I've been to many aquariums and it's the one I feel best in. I love the way it uses entertainment to sneak up education about marine life on people. Great stuff for kids (hands-on with a sea cucumber anyone?). It's truly involved with conservation. And it's run by a combination of staff (350) and volunteers (over 600).
I'll keep you updated.

Thanks Grog! That is really amazing -- they are so beautiful to watch! I just spent more than 10 minutes on Beluga Cam! Forwarded it to a bunch of people via email.
Is that a fairly small area they have them in right now? What a great opportunity for you -- wonderful volunteer work. Enjoy!Everyone Deserves a Lifetime

Oh, how cool!!
I first saw a Beluga at an aquarium in CT a few years back and I was entranced by them. I could have stayed there watching that tank all day but the kids we brought with us wanted to move on. They are so beautiful and unique looking!
I can't do the live cam at work, but I'm definitely going to check that out tonight when I get home. Thanks for sharing!My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom

I wonder what's going on in her beluga head...
