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.
Between June and November you can watch humpbacks and blue whales, the best time being from June to September. In the waters of Santa Barbara, blue whale sightings are pretty regular, the area being one of the best to see blue whales worldwide. Numerous types of dolphins and occasionally orcas, too, can be spotted here.
