back from FL
Pictures from Florida:
Nov 4 - The Driftwood Inn
This was our home for the week. The first few days very windy, uncharacteristically so, but the temperature was still 80F and the skies were blue, which was a welcome change from our current cold, gray skies in Fresno. Also, that's my niece in there.
Nov 5 - McKee Botanical Garden
Lovely gardens stuck in the middle of condos and golf courses. It features the world's largest mahogany table; 35' long and made from a single piece of wood.
Nov 6 - The beach at the Driftwood Inn
Featuring my dad and brother, with a cameo by the niece.
Nov 7 - Smithsonian Marine Station Ecosystems Exhibit
A small, but nicely appointed aquarium down in Fort Pierce, FL. Normally $2, but free on Tuesday! We also visiting a nuclear power plant that day, but it wasn't very picturesque. Here's a cooling tower.
Nov 8 - Brevard Zoo
The zoo in Melbourne was small, but excellent. If you're ever in the area, this is a must see. You can feed a giraffe and pet a lorikeet. I'm very pleased with how the flamingo shot came out.
Nov 9 - Environmental Learning Center
Free because it's small and educational. We saw no other tourists, only two school classes. My calves were also eaten alive by mosquitos.
