wonderful South Florida

Just got back from a weekend of shelling and major big time bird watching in South Florida. It was beautiful. Sanibel and Captiva islands are great shelling meccas. A friend wanted to attend the Sanibel Shell Show and it was great fun. I saw more Ospreys than I knew even existed; they are nesting all over the area and flock across the waterways fishing with spectacular dives. Several nested on the rooftops of our hotel and we were able to enjoy very closeup views from our nineth floor balcony. It was a great treat!
Also, do not underestimate the beauty of Florida Keys sunsets! Ohhh, baby;it was wonderful!
anyway, I was happy to see an endangered bird of prey thriving down there. Also saw many many bottlenosed dolphins closeup including a momma with a baby about 1/3 her size swimming and feeding. The people were pretty nice down there but the traffic is horrid.
Makes me feel better about our highway issues.
Anyway, highly recommended for a winter adventure
