Hydrothermal Vents

-

The deepest known hydrothermal vents on Earth, Beebe Vent Field and Von Damm Vent Field, are in the Cayman Trough (trench). They are in the Caribbean Sea and the Cayman Islands, close to Cuba. Water exits the vents at 842°F! You would think life couldn't possibly exist here but it does! For instance, fireworms and blind shrimp. The blind shrimp have their eyes fused together but they are able to detect really hot water. That's awesome!

Scientists speculate that the moons, Enceladus and Europa, may host these type of vents too. It's pretty cool to think there might be some sort of life form somewhat close by us.

BB.Q Chicken Rose Ddeok Bokki Review

-

 I've been so excited since the announcement of the opening of this restaurant! I wanted to try the chicken of course, but the thing that called me was Rose Ddeok Bokki. I have seen it in many videos and wanted to try it so badly for some time now. I had to try it first!  The restaurant open on Trenton Rd in Edinburg, TX was nice and clean. The ambiance was nice with K-pop music playing softly. Ordering was quick and easy. However, if you don't have time or are in a rush, I'd highly recommend ordering ahead or going somewhere else. It's a long wait. They do warn you beforehand though.  The customer service was nice and proper and I was there long enough to see how they treated and served other customers. They attended the guests quite nicely and were attentive. Two family sized guests did walk out, again, because of the wait. The food is made to order so I do see why they take the time they do. Now, for the review of the Rose Ddeok Bokki. After being given my order from

Lent Friday means only fish today! Fun fact, there is a ‘monster’ in cryptozoology that is called, the whale eater! (Picture a kraken) Although not yet discovered (I say yet because I have a feeling it is out there) there have been several sightings of this animal. Not only that, but they attribute certain recent incidents to it. The 58 foot long whale that was on shore with bite marks in Long Island, NY in 2014. The whale did not die because of the bite, but it did play a part in its death. The whale may have been so traumatized by the event that it came to shore and died of starvation. Reportedly, the bite marks were not of a whale or any marine known animal. Also, the shark that washed up on shore with its half body bitten off in New Smyrna Beach, Florida in 2017. In 2013, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a large sperm whale was found dead and attributed to a giant shark, but then after reviewing they found the whale died due to one large bite. They also found a tooth on its spi

29th Birthday Celebration!

I have travelled to Orlando, Florida! This was a complete whirlwind idea. My best friend and I decided to travel together for the first time. We had an excuse, well two. First, my birthday was around the corner and second, we needed to visit one of our best friends that lives in Florida. Was there another influence in our decision? Yes! Tickets were on special! We woke up early to catch our flight and arrived in the afternoon. We were greeted by our best friend and the lovely sun. Boy, was it hot! After much excitement of seeing each other again after a year. She took us to a Turkish restaurant she frequents. The restaurant had amazing food. I had heard about Turkish tea when I was in college and wanted to try it ever since. Today I had the pleasure of tasting it. I had been told the tea was strong and they described it perfectly. After our delicious lunch we headed over to her place, our gracious host had a surprise in store for us and we loved it! She has inform
