Fried fish



Sunday 15 April 2007

Colonia, Uruguay, yet again, for visa renewals. We sat for a while at our usual restaurant, but no beer and chivitos this time, I was feeling rather under the weather. We also tried something new, the Colonia Aquarium. It had all local fish from the river, so nothing too colorful, but this one was interesting. It is an electric fish! They had a TV screen next to the tank showing the level of electricity in the tank as it went up and down. Evidently, the fish use this ability, not to stun prey or for defense, but to communicate with one another. Pretty neat, huh?
