Relaxing Weekend

First, we're very happy Yaya and Baboo got home safely. A day late, but still in time for Erica's baby shower & party. We are so looking forward to seeing all of you this summer!!

Saturday, Ella and I (Daddy) went to Morsky Svet, or "Seaworld," Prague's aquarium.

Ella absolutely loved it.
Unfortunately for Daddy, he has also seen Chicago's Shedd Aquarium and Boston's New England Aquarium.
Apples and oranges. Like comparing somebody's prized 120 gallon saltwater fish tank to the goldfish-in-a-cup prize you win at the county fair.

After some homework & metric conversion, you compare:
Square Area in square feet
Boston: unknown, but jellyfish exhibit alone is 5,000 square feet
Chicago: 422,000
Prague: 10,700 (...likely including bathrooms and cashdesk)

Total Aquarium Gallons of Water
Boston: 200,000 gallons just in its "centerpiece tank"
Chicago: 750,000
Prague: 19,800

Entry price for 1 Adult & a 2-year old
Boston: $19
Chicago: $18
Prague: ~$15 (240 Kc)

Still, all that's important is, Ella loved it. Especially the 'petting zoo' portion. Ugh...I'll have to post a picture or movie up soon.

What did we do on Sunday? We (Ella and Daddy) finger-painted pictures of our Seaworld adventures. Located just 15 minutes walk away from home, Seaworld is (unfortunately) too close an adventure to ignore. I'm confident that we'll visit often.

Company CEO Update
Klaus Zumwinkel's, who was Jeff's CEO last week, is still being investigated for tax fraud. Klaus has graciously tendered his resignation to Deutsche Post World Net (and the Executive Committee has graciously accepted it).

Klaus Zumwinkel. How neat a name is that? It's best when you pronounce it as a German name should be: "Klaus Tsumvinkel". Just say it out loud to yourself a few times. It's fun, isn't it? But, here, it's neither cute nor fun, it's Dr. Zumwinkel, former CEO Deutsche Post AG.

later, -Jeff

p.s. Baboo - I hung up the 2nd living room lighting fixture. It's more beautiful than the first. :)

p.p.s. New England Aquarium - take a hint from others and update your website with some overall statistics, ok? (It makes it much easier to brag about you.)
