We have been to a few places since I last posted. We really enjoyed Pensacola. A very fun, pretty, and friendly town. We went to the Pensacola Naval Air Museum on our way out of town. It was very cool and totally free. Located on the navy base where the Blue Angels train it was quite a place. There are a few pictures below but I was a bit overwhelmed there was just too much there to capture. We then went to a beautiful State Park called Grayton Beach. The sign not to feed the alligators was right behind our campsite. We didn't see any alligators while there however. The sand on the beaches was so white it looked like snow. I have posted some of them below.
On to see the manatees. We stopped at Manatee State Park where they were supposed to be but none were spotted. The park was really interesting. It felt a bit like middle earth with trees cutoff and moss hanging down and hundreds of vultures. You can see them in the trees in the picutres below.
Still in search of the real manatee we went to the Homosassa State Park. You ride in a boat down the river to the park where they have manatees and other animals. Manatees are amazing. They are at least 10 feet long and can weigh 1000-3000 lbs. The are totally vegetarian and very friendly. It was hard to capture the pictures since they come up for air very quickly but I did get a few you can see below.
Tonight we are in Tarpon Springs. We arrived late but will explore tomorrow.
