Today we decided to seek out the local Morsky Svet (Sea World) for some fish-viewing pleasure. It's not Sea World in the American sense of the word, but an indoor aquarium with mainly tropical fish (no dolphins, whales or the like). After trekking through some inclement Prague weather with Lydia and our friends, Emily, Eloise and Lillian, we FINALLY found the building (had to ask directions 3 times during what should've been a 5 minute walk!). I, for one, was quite impressed with the interior decor complete with fish murals covering the walls and ceilings as well as a rather realistic looking cave. Lydia, however, was quite overwhelmed by the darkness and the (sometimes loud) water sounds being piped through the speakers as well as moving lights on the ceiling creating the illusion of waves.
We wrapped up the morning with a trip to the Golden Arches for some Happy Meals. This may have been the highlight of the morning for Lydia... bright lights, primary colors and the smell of french fries seemed a much happier experience for her in contrast to a dark aquarium with shark paintings all around. Who'd have thunk it? Guess the McDonald's marketing dept. knows what it's doing.
Lydia and Eloise model their Happy Meal toys. Extremely large sunglasses that were promptly broken by both girls before leaving the premisis. Gotta love those Chinese goods...
