Kicking Back the Pebbles

A big girl's notes on home - cuisine - travel - life

The New England Aquarium

This summer, in 10 posts: post 5 {Boston}

Στο ενυδρείο της Νέας Αγγλίας, υπάρχει ανοιχτή δεξαμενή με σαλάχια και μικρούς καρχαρίες. Βάζεις το χέρι σου στην επιφάνεια (χωρίς να το τσαλαβουτάς, απλά ακουμπάς απαλά την παλάμη σου στο νερό) και περιμένεις τα σαλάχια, που κολυμπούν κοντά στην επιφάνεια, να περάσουν με το ρεύμα… όχι μόνο δεν φαίνεται να τους ενοχλούν τα αγγίγματα, αλλά πολλά από αυτά τα «επιζητούν» (δεν ξέρω αν τους αρέσουν ή αν κινούν απλά την περιέργειά τους!) και ανταποκρίνονται στην επαφή: στρέφονται προς την παλάμη σου, περνούν ξανά από κάτω —ένα-δύο γυρνούσαν προς το πλάι για να δουν καλύτερα το άτομο που τους έδινε το χέρι του— και συνεχίζουν να κολυμπούν κοντά στα τοιχώματα της δεξαμενής για να έρχονται σε επαφή με τον κόσμο!


M. got to touch some stingrays! I never would have thought that, but they actually seemed to “enjoy” and/or be intrigued by(?) human touch. One or two of them, after feeling M.’s hand on their back turned around and leaned against the tank wall where M. was resting his hand, to touch his palm again! Then they would swim around the tank and come back for more…

The Amazon Rainforest exhibit

Check out the piranha!

The New England Aquarium | Kicking Back the Pebbles

…and here’s the bloody truth (couldn’t resist, sorry!) about them: “If you mention the word piranha to people, images of razor-sharp teeth and ferocious feeding frenzies are pretty much the norm. These fish have been showcased in films and media as fierce meat-eating machines that will attack in a moment’s notice! And like most monstrous myths, that is quite an exaggeration from the truth. Most piranhas, including the red-bellied piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri) featured at the New England Aquarium, aren’t out looking for a nice human to eat. Instead, they eat small worms, insects or fish, all items they can find throughout the Amazon River Basin. ” {excerpt from the Exhibit Galleries Blog}


Το Ενυδρείο της Νέας Αγγλίας, άνοιξε το 1969 και θεωρείται ένας από τους πιο σημαντικούς φορείς στην εξερεύνηση των ωκεανών και τη διατήρηση της βιοποικιλότητας των θαλάσσιων οικοσυστηµάτων & της θαλάσσιας ζωής. Διαθέτει ένα εξαιρετικό κέντρο εκπαίδευσης και επαναπροσδιορίζει το τι ακριβώς πρέπει να είναι ένα ενυδρείο στις μέρες μας: συνδυάζει την εκπαίδευση, την ψυχαγωγία αλλά και τη δράση για την αντιμετώπιση των πιο σοβαρών προβλημάτων που αντιμετωπίζουν οι θάλασσες παγκοσμίως. Το ερευνητικό προσωπικό του ενυδρείου έχει συμμετάσχει, όλα αυτά τα χρόνια, σε εκατοντάδες αποστολές, προγράμματα παρακολούθησης, διασώσεις και δράσεις για την προστασία των ωκεανών. Το κεντρικό έκθεμα του ενυδρείου {και πιθανώς το “σήμα κατατεθέν” του} είναι η Γιγαντιαία Ωκεάνια Δεξαμενή, η οποία θεωρείται ένα από τα πιο πολύπλοκα και εξελιγμένα υδρόβια εκθέματα στον κόσμο! Μπορείτε να βρείτε επιπλέον πληροφορίες στην επίσημη σελίδα του ενυδρείου εδώ.

Hi, it’s Athina!

A stalwart bookworm, English & American Literature graduate, EFL/ESOL teacher. I juggled teaching and working as an executive secretary, in a big advertising company and a law firm, for several years. I’m a freelance writer, line editor, and blogger as of lately. Also, a bit ironic by nature but, all in all, quite easy-going. Partner to 1 & mother to 3 cats. I once tried to give up coffee and then swore not to make that mistake again!

In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale, In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale, an old woman bakes a gingerbread man, who leaps from her oven and runs away. The woman and her husband give chase but are unable to catch him. The gingerbread man then outruns several farm characters in repetitious scenes featuring an ever-growing cast for the tale's effect. Each time he escapes, he chants a list of those he has steered clear of and bets he can avoid the next character too: “I've run away from a little old man, a little old man and the old lady, and I can run away from you—I can!”

It all ends with a fox catching and eating the gingerbread man, who cries as he is devoured: “I'm quarter gone! I'm half gone! I'm three-quarters gone! I'm all gone!” 🦊🍪 #homemade #gingerbreadspice #gingerbreadman #gingerbreadhouse #gingerbreadcookies #gingerbreadlady
