A boat and some fishes in a tank

Long Beach, Los Angeles, Queen Mary; a boat built in England, now situated in Long Beach, California. Fancy a tour? For about $25 you get a full tour without annoying guides. A guy almost peed his pants in the "creepy" ghost tour and another quit it half way. Come on people, it's a show, like wrestling, but... everybody don't understand it's a show either, so... Well, "When in Rome..."

Anyway, Queen Mary is a boat built in the 30's and was the fastest and relative to its speed the biggest transatlantic cruise ship. WWII came and ceased, time passed by and finally Long Beach decided to pepper up their tourist attractions and decided to buy the "little vessel" in the 60's. So they did and made it into a hotel. Nowadays the boat is said to be haunted. Cool, I always wanted to have a close encounter with paranormal activity, in places you expect them.

What else is there in Long Beach? An aquarium where you can go give a shark or a stingray a little scratch on his back with your own two fingers.

Crap text, In-joy the pictures, they're better.
