For the first time since Katrina, I had the pleasure of visiting the Aquarium of the Americas, which suffered numerous casualties after the storm. Most of the aquatic life had to be replaced and it wasn't until earlier this year that it finally re-opened.

With my three visiting Belgium cousins in tow, we purchased tickets to the aquarium and the IMAX. Though a few exhibits were still missing and a few various ocean species absent from their usual locations, the aquarium was, as always, a pleasure to visit.

While I waited for the ferry to arrive so I could make my way back to Algiers Point, I spotted Dr. Phil filming in front of the Aquarium; tomorrow, he's supposed to be filming a show at the Superdome. Though I don't particularly care for Dr. Phil (I feel as though the local psychologists are doing much more than he is--and they're not getting millions to play the sympathetic shrink on TV), I did snap a few photos from the waiting area.
