    I remember going to the "ball park" 0ff the coast of Maine. And seeing the bow fin whales..majestic is not really an accurate description, enough..they fill you with awe...
    Such a huge creation, yet so gentle and playful!!
    That was something I will never forget!

    Really wouldn’t be so hard to find Wales if you’d start with a map.

      OMG a clean joke, rarer than a Blue whale.
