Monterey, California
The City of Monterey in Monterey County is located on the southern edge of Monterey Bay, on Central California's Pacific coast. It stands at an elevation of 26 feet (8 m) above sea level,[2] on a land area of 8.466 sq mi (21.927 km²). The 2010 census recorded a population of 27,810.
Monterey was the capital of Alta California under both Spain and Mexico. It was the only port of entry for taxable goods in California. In 1846 the U.S. flag was raised over the Customs House, and California became part of the United States after the ensuing Mexican-American War.
The city had California's first theatre, public building, public library, publicly funded school, printing press, and newspaper. The city and surrounding area have attracted artists since the late 19th century and many celebrated painters and writers have lived there. Until the 1950s, there was an abundant fishery.
Among Monterey's notable present-day attractions are the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf and the annual Monterey Jazz Festival.

Amazing Monterey Bay Aquarium in California
The Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) is a public aquarium located in Monterey, California, United States. The aquarium was founded in 1984 and is located on the site of a former sardine cannery on Cannery Row. It has an annual attendance of more than two million visitors. It holds thousands of plants and animals, representing more than 600 species on display. The aquarium benefits from a high circulation of fresh ocean water which is obtained through pipes which pump it in continuously from Monterey Bay.
The centerpiece of the Ocean's Edge Wing, is a 28-foot-high (8.5 m), 333,000-US-gallon (1,260,000 l; 277,000 imp gal) tank for viewing California coastal marine life. In this tank, the aquarium was the first in the world to grow live California Giant Kelp. Visitors are able to inspect the creatures of the kelp forest at several levels in the building. The largest tank in the aquarium is a 1,200,000-U.S.-gallon (4,500,000 l; 1,000,000 imp gal) tank in the Open Sea galleries (formerly the Outer Bay), which features one of the world's largest single-paned windows. It is one of the few aquariums to hold the ocean sunfish in captivity.
Sealife on exhibit includes stingrays, jellyfish, sea otters, and numerous other native marine species, which can be viewed above and below the waterline. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of very few in the world to exhibit both bluefin and yellowfin tuna. For displaying jellyfish, it uses a Kreisel tank, which creates a circular flow to support and suspend the jellies. The aquarium does not house mammals other than otters.
Das Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) im kalifornischen Monterey ist eines der größten öffentlichen Schauaquarien weltweit. Gebaut wurde die 1984 eröffnete Ausstellung mit einer 55-Millionen-Dollar-Spende von David Packard auf dem Gelände einer ehemaligen Fischfabrik an der Cannery Row. Ein Erweiterungsbau für 57 Millionen Dollar wurde 1996 fertiggestellt. Bekannt ist es für das Acrylfenster, das den Blick in das größte Aquarium erlaubt. Es war lange Zeit mit einer Länge von 17 und einer Höhe von 5 Meter das größte Fenster weltweit.Zu sehen gibt es im Monterey Bay Aquarium über 35.000 Tiere und 550 verschiedenen Arten an Meerestieren: von winzigen Nacktschnecken über Seesterne, Quallen bis hin zu großen Haien und Pinguinen. Das Aquarium verfügt über etwa 200 Becken, das größte davon the Outer Bay fasst etwa 4 Millionen Liter Wasser. Ebenfalls zum Bereich Outer Bay gehört eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Quallen. Weitere Schwerpunkte sind ein großes Tangwald-Becken, Seeotter, eine umfangreiche Ausstellung von weiteren Ottern sowie eine Gezeitenzone in der auch die Pinguine gezeigt werden.

Thanksgiving in Monterey, California! 2015
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and this year we went back to one of my favorite childhood vacation spots, Monterey. Monterey Bay is on the Central Coast of California and is absolutely gorgeous. There's endless beautiful scenery and tons of sea life - everything from adorable sea otters at the aquarium to moody elephant seals at a rookery. Ultimately, we ended up packing a lot into our little mini family vacation:
Day 1: Seventeen Mile Drive, Eatin' Turkey, & Hunger Games!

This series of films was found in a military archive in its original 16mm Kodachrome color film and is the only copy of its kind. The films are silent with captions describing the different scenes.
This film has been converted into subject material for easy of reference and viewing. The clippings in some cases have been modified and re-edited to keep the continuity of the subject. Some of the original material has been removed when it was thought not to be necessary or not in its proper place. This film gives us excellent insight to the activities of the cavalry post at the Presidio of Monterey, California in 1938. – Greg Krenzelok
