Exegesis includes a wide range of critical disciplines: textual criticism is the investigation into the history and origins of the text, but exegesis may include the study of the historical and cultural backgrounds for the author, the text, and the original audience.
WHALE WATCHING. California is one of the only places in the world where visitors can see whales year-round, and there's no better place for whale watching than Monterey. While in many areas whale watchers have to go far from shore to see a whale, along the Monterey coast whales can sometimes be seen offshore with the naked eye.
Winter is the best time to view marine life in California, as impressive pods of gray whales take their own vacations down south for the chillier months. But while winter is the most popular time for whale viewing, there are other opportunities outside of migration season, depending on where you go and what you want to see.
