We started our odyssey on the beach in Cape May, NJ
and we saw a couple of dolphins off the shore.
That couldn't have prepared us for the show
we got the next day on our whale-watching cruise.

which is beautiful, although not as big a Forest Park,
and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The view from the roof is awesome.
