We are all getting tired of talking about the weather and are looking forward to later this week when it will be in the 70's. Yesterday we drove to Silver Springs the hard way, through every little burg and its 15 red lights. When we got there at 2:10, they announced that they were closing at 3. We took pictures of the outer grounds, but it would have been too cold to tour even if we had gotten there earlier. The turtles didn't seem to mind the cold. We took state route 40 to Ormond Beach, and it was very picturesque, in particular, the St. John's River. I want to do that trip again. Today we took pictures of the alligator park and Swampy, and then headed to Cocoa Beach. We ended up at Captain J's again and had a good lunch and went out on the beach. Then we went to Cocoa Village, and bought souvenirs and some jewelry for my wine glass. I didn't know such a thing existed, but I love it. Then we toured a Great Blue Heron Refuge, which is really the Titusville Waste Treatment Facility. Just when we were sure we would never see a live alligator, there he was. The bobcat posed beautifully, and the armadillo was busy eating. The birds are used to having their pictures taken, but I'm always hoping to get a really spectacular shot. Diane leaves in the morning for cold PA, as opposed to cold FL. Oh well, we had a really great time.

Dolly and Diane,
Looks like you had a good time.
Take comfort in knowing it was much much much colder here in NY. We were below 0 with the wind chill! No chance of seeing turtles here....let alone a Gator! Take care. Nice pictures!
