Manatee Day

This morning we drove out past Naples, to the Everglades. We had a Manatee tour scheduled. It was cool. We went to this marina, boarded this pontoon type boat and trolled around the channel. We saw several manatees. There was another couple on board with us, Vito and his wife from Southern Connecticut. W also drove down the river and saw a huge alligator, in an inlet of sorts. He was sunning himself. It was a fun trip. We learned about the "skunk Ape" and about the island, out near Key West, where they did experiments on animals clonning, etc. Made for great story telling, don't know how much of what Capt. Jim Walker said was true, but it was part of the experience!

We stopped at the Cheesecake Factory for Linner on the way back to Cape Coral. Stuffed ourselves once again!
