If you’re like me, fascinated by the criminal mind, fading ruins, and history in its most infamous, Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia will make your day. and I was immediately hit with the fact that life in the p was far from peachy—not that I expected it would be, but things like that always hit you a little differently when you see it in person. The First in Modern Conveniences (sort of) To house all the convicts in a solitary environment, the cells had central heating, running water, and cast iron toilets that flushed once a day. Experts in the paranormal have studied the prison on countless occasions and according to the penitentiary’s website has been featured on “SyFy’s Ghost Hunters; the Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, Paranormal Challenge, and Most Haunted Live; Fox Television’s World’s Scariest Places; TLC’s America’s Ghost Hunters; and MTV’s FEAR.

As the baby sea lions zoom past, banking, rolling, diving, swimming in loop de loops like Hotwheels on a track, I am sure of one thing, even if this UnCruise sucked (which it doesn’t), the trip would be worth it for this one hour. We are at the base of Los Islotes, a huge guano-streaked rock formation near Isla Espiritu Santo in the Sea of Cortez, and as far as I’m concerned it’s a little slice of heaven. Unlike seals, sea lions have long front flippers with which they propel themselves through the water while seals use their hind flippers. • Sea lions have small ear flaps (seals don’t) and use both sets of flippers to move on land while seals bounce along on their stomachs.
