Dead whales.

One of my friends dad is a biology teacher. So today her, I, and some other friends went to watch a dead whale get cut open!!! I forget what kind of whale it was....but it was hit by a ship according to them. It has two blow holes I know that and it's the only kind of whale with two blow holes. My hair was all over the place! it was soooo awesome. The friend with the dad thats a biology teacher didn't like when they cut open the whale, she didn't like it in general. I LOVED it! I was jumping up and down(Of course...that was to keep myself warm from the wind) haha. It was so awesome though, they cut off the blubber and dragged it aside for other people to cut up and throw to the seagulls. We were offered to cut up the blubber but I'm glad my friends said no, I wanted to watch. I felt kind of bad for the whale and didn't want to go when they all wanted to go to the car, I went too because I wasn't in the mood to stand alone. My dad, when I got home, asked if some one he fished with was there. I think he was, I was introduced to him, but not with my last name so I think thats why he didn't recognize me. His eyes stayed trained on my face for a second longer than the others, my face must have seemed familiar. I can see why. We were going to take the intestine out and see how far it stretched but the insides were just a bunch of goop. They originally were going to take out the heart but they couldn't even do that. I was bummed I wasn't going to get to pull the intestine out, it seemed kinda fun! I'm probably one of the most backwards girls i've met,lol! Anyways so that was a lot of fun even if it was windy and cold. The friend who's dad was a biologist's brother offered one of us a big, warm coat.(before any of us were wearing actual coats, just sweatshirts). I figured I was going to get cold, took it, and thanked him. I'm really glad I did!!!! It kept the wind offa me and kept me super warm. Very nice of him to offer. I would've frozen if I hadn't taken it.
